“I put the “U” in gUlag.” - Stalin
The year was 1974. A Moscow resident collected all the cash his family had saved for the last thirty years, and set off to the car dealership to purchase a new car. When he got there he had to sign in and pay the entire amount up front. He asked the clerk when he could pick up his car, to which the clerk replied, “March 28, 1983”. The man asked the clerk, “Would that be in the morning or the afternoon?” The clerk got angry and asked, “What difference does it make?” The man replied, “Well, I really have to tell the plumber something”.
