A Ukrainian immigrant goes to the Department of Motor Vehicles to apply for a driver's license. He has to take an eye test.

The clerk shows him a card with the letters:

C Z W I X N O S T A C Z

"Can you read this?" the clerk asks.

"Read it?" the Ukrainian replies, "I know the guy!"

Chtec,

I haven't seen "x" written in Latinka. Is it for the "ch" sound, a transliteration from the Cyrillic "X"?

I posed the question because I have read Ukrainian
transliterations using the "X" for the "ch" sound and was just wondering. Didn't mean to over think the joke.
