The Coffee Place's Joke Stack
A certain Russian starship navigator was the only survivor of a shuttlecraft landing on a disputed planet. Unfortunately he had landed in Klingon territory and was promptly captured by two Klingons who claimed he was spying. Alas, the Klingons had lost their own transportation and their communicators in the same ion storm, so they had to march on foot and did not reach their destination till nightfall.
Around the campfire the Klingons began to bore the young man with boast of Klingon strength and machismo.
Finally the Russian said, "That's not so tough. In Russia we're so tough we play Russian Roulette instead of poker."
The Klingons asked what was so tough about Russian Roulette and were fascinated by the Starfleet officer's description of the "sport".
"That is indeed an exhilarating sport and an honorable death for the losers. Do you think you can teach us this game if we untie your hands?," asked the leader.
Seeing an opportunity to get his hands free and on a phaser or blaster, the young navigator agreed. His hands were untied and he explained again the basic concept of placing a weapon to your head and firing with the possibility that it would not kill you and then passing it to the next person. The officer reached for his phasor in the stack of his confiscated goods but was stopped by a rough Klingon hand.
"Wait!" The Klingon grinned evilly as he said, "You're trying to trick us. Well we're to smart for you." The navigator's heart stopped as the Klingon paused and lifted his blaster. "I'll go first!" Whereupon, to the Russian's amazement the Klingon idiot pointed the blaster to his head and fired.
As the headless corps fell to the ground, the Russian lunged for the fallen weapon. But alas, he was not fast enough. His arm was rudely twisted behind his back by the second Klingon who leaned forward and
took the blaster from his fallen comrade's hand. Laughing menacing, the second Klingon said, "Hah! I am not so stupid as you think. I know how this works. Now it's my turn!"
