lol. In Russia there is a rumor that this is an example of the shuttle 
diplomacy of Henry Alfred Kissinger. And they tell her a little differently:

Once Henry Kissinger was asked:
- What is shuttle diplomacy?
Kissinger replied:
- This is a universal method! I will explain by example. Suppose you want to 
issue the method of shuttle diplomacy to the daughter of Rockefeller to marry a 
simple peasant from a Russian village.
- How?

- Very simple. I'm going to a Russian village, I find a simple guy there and 
ask:
- Do you want to marry an American girl?"
He told me:
- What?! We have our girls full.
I told him:
- Yes. But she is the daughter of a billionaire!
Is he:
- Wow! It changes everything!

Then I'm going to Switzerland to the board meeting of the bank and I ask:
- Do you want to have a Siberian peasant in CEO?
- Fuuuuu,- they tell me at the bank.
- And what if he is Rockefeller's son-in-law?
- Wow! This changes everything!

Then I'm going home to Rockefeller and ask:
- Do you want to have a son-in-law of a Russian peasant?
He told me:
- What are you talking about, we all have financiers in our family!
I told him:
- And he, just, - CEO of the Swiss bank!
Is he:
- Wow! It changes everything! Suzy! Come here. Mr. Kissinger has found you a 
bridegroom. This is CEO of the Swiss bank!

Suzy:
- Fuuuuu... All these financiers can not do anything in bed!
And I told her:
- Yes! But this one is a huge Siberian peasant!
She is:
- Wow!! It changes everything! =)

With best regards, Alexandr.
