Oleg thought for a second and then said (in his broken english), "I will show you how I learned. Stand up.. like military you know?" and me mimes standing at attention. So the guy stands at attention and Oleg starts to pace back and forth infront of. He starts to talk about being lined up during class and his instructor pacing and yelling at all the students. As he walks by he whacks the guy(lightly) in the balls, with his hand. As the guy flinches and covers up, he shrugs and says" you just learn".
It is a hell of a lot funnier in his broken english and that stoic russian face of his.

that makes absolutely no sense, but i'll believe it was cool b/c it was Taktarov.
