Thread: Need a Funny Russian Expression

I believe "Это просто праздник какой-то!" (It must be a holiday!) fits perfectly. The man finds something very useful / pleasant unexpectedly, and is excited how stupid his enemy was - all in one.

"На ловца и зверь бежит" is used when you suddenly meet / encounter somebody whom you were looking for.

Interesting, thanks for the additional details Kudesnik,

I will have to reanalyze the situation to see which one fits better.

Maybe I will use both in two different situations. Thanks again.

I see no problem to use this expression when a person suddenly finds ANYTHING that can help him in anyway to solve his problem.
