An American politician once visited the USSR, and was given a tour of a Soviet automobile factory

Before the American arrived, the shift manager advised the workers on what to say to him.

"If you are asked how much you make in a month, say you make enough to purchase a new Lada."

The workers agreed, and soon the American arrived at the factory. During his tour, he approached one of the factory workers. "How much do you make in a month working at this factory?"

"I make enough to purchase a new Lada," the worker answered.

"Do you have a Lada?"

"No," the worker replied. "I do not have a car."

"Why not?"

"I would rather save two month's pay to afford a new pair of boots."
