Alex: This is my miniature brother, Igor. I am tutoring him to be a man of this world. For an example, I exhibited him a smutty magazine three days yore.
Igor: Why is it dubbed sixty-nine?
Alex: I explain it to him that this is because it was invented in the year 1969. I know this because my friend Grisha knows a friend of the nephew of the inventor.
Igor: What did people do before 1969?
Alex: He is a genius, my miniature brother. He will be made a VIP if I have a thing to do with it.
