A neighbor came to Nasrudin, asking to borrow his donkey.  "It is out on
loan," the teacher replied.  At that moment, the donkey brayed loudly inside

A new 'chutist had just jumped from the plane at 10,000 feet, and soon
discovered that all his lines were hopelessly tangled.  At about 5,000 feet,
still struggling, he noticed someone coming up from the ground at about the

it that those lackeys and servants of former capitalist bosses were kept
in line by healthy suspicion and surveillance by the workers.
                -- Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, "The Gulag Archipelago"
