[D-community-offtopic] Joke# 19

[Chris Bannister]

A Moscow housewife sends her husband out to stand on line at the
butcher's shop. After standing there for two hours, and just as he
reaches the head of the queue, the butcher appears in the window and
posts a sign saying "No More Meat This Week." The husband goes
ballistic, loudly imprecating against Communism, the Party, the
Politburo, the Leader, and everything else, when a tall, burly man with
KGB written all over him gently pulls him aside and says "Be careful
what you say, comrade, you know what would have happened to anyone
talking like that in Stalin's day" and mimes firing a pistol at the
husband.
The husband goes back home and is greeted by his wife. "Don't tell me
they're out of meat again!" said the wife. "Worse", said the husband,
"they're out of bullets."
