Mirage Man Cheers Up Meteorite Man

You already know the story of Vladyslav Lukyanov, aka Meteorite Man. But why call his buddy, Oleksandr Stoyan, ‘Mirage Man?’ Here’s a quick answer, plus a funny support group session:



Stoyan: Once you’re in jail, we’ll be making arrangements to have you awarded with a medal of honor.
Lukyanov: That’s bull...
Stoyan: Wait a minute...
Lukyanov: I didn’t do it for a medal of honor. I do understand that…
Stoyan: Okay, you’re a modest person. You ordered three pieces of dried crust. As head of the Rada Labor Union, I will arrange it for you. But you also ordered a bottle of beer.
Lukyanov: Okay, let talk about something serious...
Stoyan: Beer is for union members only![both laugh]
