Abominable Foreign Exchange

I own an Abominable Snowman hat.   I wore it into work one day, and a nurse from Ukraine asked me, "Vot ees zees hat?" 

I explained that it was the Yeti, sometimes known as Bigfoot or the Abominable Snowman.  I said, "You know, the animal you can only see if you are not carrying a camera." 

He looked at me skeptically.  "I don't know zees animal." 

He "googled" it in Russian with Cyrillic letters.  Then, he smiled.  "Okay,  I do know zees creature.  You see him when you are out drunk with your friends."

Exactly!






Nurse's Note:  This is Abominable Snowman in his summer coat.  I had to draw this likeness since no clear photos exist.
