A commissar in the Soviet Union went out to one of those state collective farms, grabbed the first worker he came to and said, ‘Comrade, how are the crops?’ “’Oh,’ he said, ‘Comrade Commissar, if we could put the potatoes in one pile, they would reach the foot of God.’” “And the commissar said, ‘This is the Soviet Union. There is no God.’ and he said, ‘That’s all right, there are no potatoes.’

A Soviet peasant called the KGB and claimed that he had seen his neighbor hiding contraband in his woodpile. The KGB came out and pulled the woodpile apart, finally splitting the wood, until they found nothing and left.

"Thanks for getting my wood split, next week I'll call in about your garden", said the neighbor.
