Three men were sitting in a Soviet prison and comparing notes on what had brought them to such a sad state of affairs.
The first one said, "Every day I showed up for work 5 minutes late and they accused me of stealing wages from the people."
The second one said, "Every day I showed up for work 5 minutes early and they said I was trying to curry political favors."
The third one said, "Every day I showed up on time and they accused me of having bought a black market clock from the West."
