16. I tell this joke often here...

Dec 7

In the old Soviet Union, a guy comes down each day to the newsstand and picks up a copy of Pravda - Fox News of the Soviet Union when it existed.

He looks at the front page, and throws the paper in the garbage.

It does for over a year.

Finally the newsstand guy can't stand it any more and says "Why do you just look at the front page and then throw the paper away every day?"

The guy says, "I'm looking for the obituaries."

The newsstand guy says, "They're not on the front page; they're inside the paper."

The guy answers, "The one I'm looking for will be on the front page."

I certainly feel that way..
