re: #274 Myron Falwell
That reminds me of an old Lenin joke.
Lenin’s widow, Krupskaya was telling a class of Soviet schoolchildren what a kind man Lenin had been.
“One day “, she said, “he was standing outside his dacha shaving himself with a bowl of water and an open razor. A little boy came to watch him and asked him what he was doing. “I’m, shaving little boy”, Lenin said.
“Why did that make Lenin a kind man?” asked one of the class.
“Don’t you see”, said Krupskaya, “he could have cut the little boy’s throat but he didn’t”.
