A Putin Says post.
You propose a four-day week to your boss. He looks at you exactly like this. There's no reply. There is never a reply. You tell your dad you've gone vegetarian. He says nothing. He passes you the sausages. You ask the waiter if you can swap the chips for a salad. He looks at you, then at the menu, then back at you. Chips. You ask the man on the squat rack how many sets he's got left. He holds up one finger. That was forty minutes ago. **Why it caught on:** Vladimir Putin's face, cut out and set on a bright colour wheel in the classic advice-animal style, much loved by Romanian posters and their neighbours. One stony face works as the reply to anything, and the rainbow makes it funnier than it has any right to be.
