Quoted from Sacramento Bee: Yakov Smirnoff on his communication with friends who came to America before him: "Before they left, we worked out a code that they would say the opposite of what they meant in their letters," Smirnoff recalled. "When they wrote that 'the streets are filthy and the people are rude' we thought that they meant the people were friendly and the streets were clean. Since they live in Cleveland, we later learned they had forgotten the code." -- Edited by Brad Templeton.
