Years ago there was a wonderful parody of Wall Street entitled "Where Are The Customers Yachts?" Well worth reading if you can find it. Just read further on the thread to see that this is a repeat :-( Imagine that each leader of the United Soviet Socialist Republic finds himself on a train in the middle of nowhere, when suddenly the tracks have come to an end. What instructions would he give to his entourage? Lenin: Go infuse the peasants with revolutionary spirit and organize them to build new rails to carry our train forward! Stalin: Round up the peasants, lay down their bodies before the train and we shall ride over them. Khrushchev: Go out, tear up the tracks from behind the train, set them down in front and we shall continue our journey. Brezhnev: Pull all the curtains in the carriage, rock back and forth and make clicking noises. Gorbachev: We have glasnost now. Run outside and shout at the top of your lungs: "There are no rails!" Yeltsin: Give the tracks, the train, and the passengers back to their original homelands! - As told by laughalot-owner@laughalot.com Fred McCutcheon
