re: #96 ckkatz

Hah! A blast from the past, the old Soviet era humor:

A man on Red Square shouts, ‘Brezhnev is an idiot!’
He gets sentenced to 15 years: five years for insulting the Soviet leader, and 10 years for betraying a state secret.

yes, I just reworked that old chestnut.

My favorite was Brezhnev getting up to read the opening speech to the 1980 Moscow Olympics. He starts in: “Oh - oh - oh - oh…” until an aide interrupts him and whispers in his ear, “Chairman, you are reading the Olympic symbol!”
