A Nigerian ambassador visited Russia and was entertained by the Russian ambassador. For three days, the Nigerian ambassador was wined, dined and generally treated to the best hospitality that Russia had to offer. On the last day of his visit, the Russian ambassador said, "Asyour stay is coming to an end, it's time for you to play our traditional game, Russian roulette. One of the six chambers of this gun is loaded - you spin the cylinder, pointthe gun at your head, and pull the trigger."This phased the Nigerian slightly, but he was a proud man of a warrior people and to show fear would be unthinkable. Both men took their guns, spun and pulled the triggers. Both chambers were empty, and both ambassadors breathed a sigh of relief. The Nigerian ambassador was impressed with the courageous game and thought hard about the subject before the Russian ambassador was due to visit his country the next year.

When the visit came, the Nigerian ambassador treated the Russian with all hospitality, until the final day of his stay. Leading him to a private room in the quarters, the Nigerian ambassador spoke,"Now, it's time for you to sample our game, Nigerian roulette."He then led the Russian into the room, the only occupants of which were six stunningand Unclad Nigerian girls. The Nigerian ambassador said, "These girls are the most beautiful members of one of our states. Any one of them will give you sex, take your pick."The Russian was not entirely averse to thisidea, but he couldn't see the connection with Russian Roulette. He said, "Well, okay,great, but where's the roulette part? Where's the danger?"With a big grin on his face, the Nigerian ambassador answered, "Two of them has H.I.V."
