That reminded me of a Soviet joke Reagan told, something along the lines of:
A man saves his money for years to buy a new car. Once he had saved enough he went to the car dealership to buy one and the salesman told him it would be 10 years before delivery.
“10 years!”, yes, he was told that was the wait time. “Morning or afternoon?” he asked.
What difference does it make if it’s in the morning or afternoon in 10 years the salesman asked.
“Because the plumber is coming in the morning”.....
[Because the plumber is coming in the morning.....]
LOL
