   The subject line is:   
   Russian anectode about Germans   
      
   I don't think `anecdote' means what you think it means.   
   Check "anecdotal evidence" and "historical anecdote".   
      
   AK> Two Russian immigrants   
      
   emigrants?   
      
   AK> who lived in Germany saw that at the nearby building   
   AK> site   
      
   /a/ nearby buildin site.   
      
   AK> there were a lot of bricks and no watchmen.   
      
   Well-said!   
      
   AK> They decided to stole bricks   
      
   to /steal/   
      
   AK> and make a sauna.   
      
   to build a sauna, perhaps?   
      
   AK> At night they took a car, went to the building site and   
   AK> loaded the car trunk with bricks. Suddendly there came   
   AK> German policemen and stricty asked the men, what the   
   AK> hell they were doing there. The Russians said that they   
   AK> had built a sauna and some bricks remained. It was a   
   AK> pity to throw it out, and they decided to carry it to   
   AK> this building site.   
      
   /had/ decided, I think.  Also, referring to /some bricks/   
   with /it/ seems wrong.   
      
   AK> The German policemen became very angry.  They said it   
   AK> was unlawful to utilise bricks in such an a way.  They   
   AK> said to the men, to take the bricks back and get lost.   
      
   ....told the men to take...
