(translated from Russian by Babelfish, just a little cleaned.. sorry.. ;)
7 March 2002
Demonstration appearance of the parachutists of local aero club at some large aviation holiday. The technician of the team, Petrovich, carrying out in the old AN-2 the last group of athletes in the bright overalls, decided, that it is possible finally to be relaxed. He went into a decrepit shack, located on the edge of landing area, in where any unnecessary junk was stored, accurately closed the door, got from a stash the bubble of port and, wiping his hands against its brilliant yellow, as the entire team, overalls, he started to slice tomatoes.
The last number of the demonstration program of athletes was trick by the name Rescue in air. Essence consisted of the following. The scarecrow in the overalls, which imitates either a passenger fallen along the road, or a parachutist with the defective parachute, is ejected from the aircraft. Following it jumps an athlete, overtakes scarecrow in air, embraces it, opens its parachute and both land under storm of applause of spectators. Spectators, who gathered in the landing area, with the pleasure observed the tricks of airmen, eating shashlik, and washing it down by cooling and other beverages.
Finally last number. The man is separated from the aircraft and he flies to the ground, by track jumps out another and is borne after it. Crowd dies. The second parachutist skillfully overtakes the first and he grabs his hand. At this time, either a wind gust, or other reason tears up athletes. All, there is no more time. The second, after waving to the farewell by hand to the comrade, opens parachute.
People, which does not suspect about the dirty trick, grows torpid. The body of the first is heading to the ground and at the enormous speed cuts into the decrepit shed in the outskirts of airfield. The clouds of dust, fragments of slate and decrepit boards were tossed on the spot of shed. Ambulance, after including siren it rushes to the place for tragedy, very without calculating someone is there to help. Following it run people. In the indecision, all stop before the large pile of boards.
Suddenly boards begin to stir and from under them creeps out Petrovich in his brilliant yellow, flooded by port and stained by tomatoes flying suit, wildly looks around and curses, waving fist to the moved away aircraft: - "Fucking rescuers. Cannot catch - do not amuse people! Enough, bastards, I do not work for you more".
They indicate that after these words, doctor from the ambulance fainted.
It is written down almost from the words of Petrovich

When you participate in sporting events, its not whether you win or loose, its how drunk you get.

What are you kidding me? The translation is at least 50 percent of its charm.
Just read it aloud with an outrageous fake Russian accent and it's funny as hell.
