Life in the Grand Old Union...
Two women are waiting in line to buy bread at a government store. The first one says, "What a pity it is that we have to wait in line for three hours to buy bread!" And the second one says, "Well, at least we're lucky. I hear that in capitalist countries like the United States, the government doesn't sell bread at all."
Stalin, Khrushchev, and Brezhnev are on a train. The train comes to a stop. Stalin stands up he says, "Shoot the conductor, send the workers to siberia, and get this train moving!" That works for a while but then the train stops again. So Khrushchev stands up and says, "Pay the dead conductor's family, get the workers back from Siberia, and get this train moving!" That works for a while too but then the train stops again. So this time Brezhnev stands up, he thinks for a while, then says carefully, "Let's just close the blinds so we think we're moving."
