A Russian spy ring was arrested in suburban New Jersey a few weeks ago, and the CIA is still trying to figure out how much damage they may have done to the United States. As opposed to the kind of damage regular New Jerseyans do to the United States. What kind of information they were passing on to their Russian spymasters is still sketchy, but the transcripts of some of their communications have just been released.
“Hey, you told us that New Jersey was called the ‘Garden State.’ Was that some kind of joke? Like the way we call Russia ‘democratic’? If this is the Garden State, what in Lenin’s name do they call Hawaii? We’ve been here for almost 20 years, and I’ve probably only learned 20 secrets. One secret a year. You want to know the secret to finding a good parking spot at the Paramus Mall? Here it is: You drive around for, like, three hours. That’s how long it takes to find an empty spot right in front of The Cheesecake Factory or the Men’s Wearhouse. When are we going to get something like the Men’s Wearhouse in Moscow? It’s fantastical. You can buy name-brand suits at half price. The prices are so low, it’s almost like communism. Except they really have the suits. And you don’t look fat and dumpy like Khrushchev or Yeltsin when you wear them.
