The USSR Prime Secretary ordered the soviet scientists to build a telescope he could use to watch the Americans. So they built
and it was beautiful. When Brejnev came to test it, he looked thru it and saw a big city with lots of skyscrapers.
He said, “Is this the New York? Where’s that building they call Empire State?”
The scientists pushed some buttons and the Empire State building came to be seen.
“What are those large photos on that building?” asked Brejnev.
The scientists pushed more buttons, and the large photos that came into focus turned out to be those of Marx, Engels and Lenin; the grandfathers of communism.
“Hey, what happened to the Americans? Are they crazy, showing large photos of our Communist Fathers on their streets? Show
me what the text below says.”
More buttons pushed revealed the text below the photos: “Don’t grow beards like these! Use Gillette!”
