Don't Say These Words to the Mayor

Listen here


The mayor of the Russian town of Megion will not allow people who work for the local government to use the phrase "I don't know."

Alexander Kuzmin has banned bureaucrats from saying 27 phrases, including "I'm having lunch," "It's not my job," "That's impossible," "Nobody told me," and "What am I supposed to do?"

Anybody who uses these phrases in front of the mayor will lose his or her job.
