(I heard the British actor Peter Ustinov tell this one on T.V. after he had been on a visit to the Soviet Union) One Russian and one Polish workman were digging the foundations for a new road. After several hours of hard toil, the Polish guy hits his shovel on something hard in the ground. Both men work hurriedly to dig the object out and discover that its a treasure chest. On opening it they find jewels, coins, gold etc. beyond their wildest dreams. Both are wild with happiness and dance around madly. When they have calmed down, the Russian takes the Polish workman's hand and ernestly says "Sir, we will share this just like Russian - Polish comrades should" and the Polish guy says "Oh no, 50 - 50". -- Paul Eccleson Hewlett-Packard Labs Bristol, ENGLAND. -- Edited by Brad Templeton.
