Hey Doug. Netscape says it can't find it. Was THAT the joke? Well, too bad, cause this is my one and only chance to tell my Trotsky joke: A messanger arrives at the Kremlin bearing a telegram. "I must speak to Comrade Stalin," he cries breathlessly, "I have just received a telegram from Trotsky and he acknowledges that he was wrong, completely wrong!" He is led to Stalin who listens patiently while the messanger explains: "Comrade Stalin, I bear a very important telegram from Trotsky it says: 'You were right; I was wrong. You can have socialism in one country while the rest of the world is in chains. Trotsky.' You see. We have won! He admits he is wrong and the rift is healed! This is a day for celebration." "Just a second," says Stalin, "let me see that telegram." He takes the telegram, and looks it over. "Ah ha! Just as I thought," he says, "Nothing has changed. Let me read it to you correctly: 'You were right? I was wrong? You can have Socialist revolution in one country while the rest of the world is in chains????" (Joanna)
