[rec.humor.funny] The soviet phone system ...

cmcmanis@sparky.eng.sun.com (Chuck McManis) (12/05/89)

At recent trade talks the American representative offered to sell
sophisticated American telephone technology to the soviets. 

American : "And in the United States, anyone can pick up any phone
	and dial 9-1-1. This will record the call and connect them
	with the police."

Soviet : "In the Soviet Union we don't require that you dial anything."
