"Pasha is different than all other living creatures by his inexhaustible optimism. He always feels good. He is a mighty, squarely-built guy. Wears glasses. Strong glasses. He reads a lot. Well, he studies in the institute. Senior grade. Has been studying for twelve years already. He needs to improve himself somehow. So he is improving. Self-improving. Even though he is an area foreman, guys never miss a chance to tease him. Once, he got into the welder's iron cabin. Wanted to doze off there. Guys waited for him to fall deeply asleep, pasted paper on his glass lenses and then banged the cabin wall with a sledgehammer with all their might. Pasha flies out with a scream "Ma-a-ma ". Blunders around the workshop, not knowing where he is and what happened. The glasses are pasted over, you know. They catch him, take paper off and restore him to life." Short stories of russian trucker. Ironic, funny and real. Like life. Sometimes I thought that all this was unreal, like I'm inside of a movie about me. So funny. And unbelievable.
