Stalin Joke 2

The great Thinker and Teacher receives a delegation of Georgians in his office, and when they have gone, can't find his pipe.

He immediately telephones Beria. "See if one of them has taken my pipe."

A minute later, he finds his pipe on the windowsill. He telephones Beria, "It's all right. I've found it."

"Too late, Josef Vissarionovich."

"What do you mean, Lavrentiy Pavlovich, too late?"

"Half of them have confessed, and been liquidated. The other half unfortunately died under interrogation."

Stalin chuckles and fills his pipe.
