Lenin, Stalin and Trotsky are in a plane over the Atlantic...
The London Times had a wonderful article on a book called Hammer and Tickle, a collection that tells Soviet history through Soviet jokes. Here's one of the highlights.
A man is thrown in a Soviet prison cell and the other inhabitants of the cell crowd round him. "How long you in for," they ask. "Ten years," the new man laments. "And what did you do?" "Nothing. I did nothing". "You liar," the prisoners shout. "For nothing you get five years."
The ensuing comment line has become a lovely collection of Soviet humor.
