— Здравствуйте, Евгений Маркович! Вас беспокоит сбербанк.
— Здравствуйте, Вы ошибаетесь.
— ... В смысле?
— Меня не беспокоит сбербанк.
— ... В смысле?
— Меня беспокоит осознание невозможности преодоления собственной смерти и риск неправильного распоряжения собственной свободой.
— ... В смысле?
— В смысле, как Кьеркегора. А сбербанк меня не беспокоит.
"Hello, Evegeniy Markovich! This is Savings Bank, sorry to bother you."
"Hello, you are mistaken."
"...What do you mean?"
"The Savings Bank isn't bothering me."
"...What do you mean?"
"What is bothering me is the realization of impossibility of overcoming one's death and the risk of incorrectly using one's freedom."
"...What do you mean?"
"I mean, as Kierkegaard wrote about it. But the Savings Bank isn't bothering me at all."

Букинист приходит к своему другу проверить, нет ли у него чего-нибудь, что могло бы подойти для коллекции.
- Вот, недавно выкинул довольно старую Библию, - говорит друг, - она у меня валялась черт знает с какого года.
- А кто издатель, ты не смотрел?
- Какой-то Гут... Гутен...
- Гутенберг?!!
- Да, точно, Гутенберг!
- Что же ты наделал! Это же первая печатная книга, за нее тебе бы дали миллионы долларов!
- Ну, не знаю... Мою бы и за ломаный грош никто не купил. Она была вся исчиркана пометками, а какой-то идиот исписал все поля своими примечаниями, да еще и подписался: "Мартин Лютер".
A man who runs a used-books shop comes to visit his friend to ask if he has anything suitable for sale.
"Oh, I threw out a very old Bible recently," the friend says, "it was lying about since who even knows when."
"Who was the publisher, do you recall, by any chance?"
"Some fellow named Gut... Guten..."
"Gutenberg?!"
"Yes, that was it, Gutenberg!"
"What have you done?! This was the first book ever to be published, you could have sold it for several million dollars!"
"Oh, I don't know about that...I don't think anyone would've given even a penny for my copy. It had marks and underlining all through the text, and some idiot also filled all the margins with his handwritten comments, and he even signed his name: 'Martin Luther'".
;))

ahahahahahahaha
the second one reminds me of the way many Americans approached the teachings of Marie Kondo. As some wise person put it -- her teachings are influenced by her religion, Shinto, but the way Americans took to it is influenced by their most common religion, Evangelical Christianity.
