Was it one of these "Here hold my beer while I try to do this" ?

"Gravity" doesn't care who you are, or where you come from!

Try to be sober when you are on a tour or are at Promthep Cape, it can be dangerous if you fall into the ocean in that

area  In a Russians case it is usually here hold my vodka, pal, and don't drnk it either.

Geezer

I bet that 'smarts'

 

He must have been a r $$ing about, bet it sobered him up a bit - wont be doing that again in a short while ehh? Sergei...
