Top Ten Communist Jokes

And the greatest Communist joke...
Communism itself was a joke, but only worthy of sadness and derision.
"Excuse me," the reporter asks, "but what is your opinion of the current meat shortage?"
The Russian says, "What is opinion?"
The Rumanian says, "What is meat?"

"Igor, it's me your old friend Eugevny! How have you been these fifteen years!" the doctor says.
"Eugevny! How good to see you! I've been promoted to engineering director of the entire Soviet space program, I'm happy to say." the engineer replies as he sets down the suitcases. The doctor notices his old friend is wearing a very large modern watch covered with dials and spinning hands.
"That's a very attractive watch, Igor. Tell me what it is. Is it imported from Switzerland?"
The engineer replies "Nonsense! This is a premier example of state of the art in Soviet engineering! No watch in the world is like this one. It tells the time across 12 time zones, announces the correct time in fifteen languages, has a liquid crystal display, contains it's own miniature atomic clock for accuracy, is completely shatterproof, is designed to operate in the vacuum of space, can survive temperatures hotter than 800 degrees Celsius, waterproof to 500 meters in depth, and is sealed for up to three atmospheres!"
"That's amazing, Igor!" says the doctor, "Simply amazing! Now tell me, what's the the suitcases?"
"The batteries."

Only one I can ever remember is one from some old 80s sitcom:
