Part 2- You know you've been in Russia too long when..

21. ..you walk into a crowded room and shake absolutely every man's hand.
22. ..you second guess shaking someones hand over the threshold of an entry.
23. ..political correctness is just a silly foreign concept.
24. ..you don't even think twice about donning that fur coat or hat.
25. ..you forget what someone with dark skin looks like.
26. ..you stop and stare at the dark skinned one with the rest of them.
27. ..you forget there are gay people in the world.
28. ..the words plan and improvise become synonyms.
29. ..you actually see a woman not wearing high heel.
30. ..Oh my God, you buy a man bag!
31. ..you absolutely never leave home without polishing your shoes.
32. ..you start to develop callouses on your elbows from arm wrestling.
33. ..arm wrestling overuse injuries become a constant battle.
34. ..you think of a toast before every drink.
35. ..chasers change from lemon and coke to black bread, pickles, sausages and even a whiff of the index finger.
36. ..after a strong shot, you headlock the nearest woman and smell her hair.
37. ..you've seen a 10 Ruble note, by itself, transform into a paper crane.
38. ..you know all the words to Status Quo's "You're in the Army Now".
39. ..you forget that Disco once upon a time, died.
40. ..you think Boney M is still in the charts.
