Central Committee for Comedic Planning

The Times of London recently held a competition for the best jokes about communism.  Here’s the winner.

Three workers find themselves locked up, and they ask each other what they’re in for. The first man says: “I was always ten minutes late to work, so I was accused of sabotage.” The second man says: “I was always ten minutes early to work, so I was accused of espionage.” The third man says: “I always got to work on time, so I was accused of having a Western watch.”

It’s funny because it’s true.
