A Soviet worker gets assigned a new car after waiting on a government list for ten years. He goes to the state office, completes all the paperwork, pays in full, and the clerk tells him: "Congratulations comrade! Everything is processed. You can pick up your car in exactly ten years." The worker hesitates for a second and asks: "Will that be in the morning or in the afternoon?" The clerk, completely astonished, replies: "Comrade, what difference does it make? It's ten years from today!" The worker answers: "Well, the plumber is coming in the morning."
