At a political meeting the chairman asks the audience, “Who is Gomulka?” There is silence. He says, “You see, if you attended more party meetings, you would know.” A voice from the back asks, “Do you know who is Petrovic?” The chairman says he cannot seem to remember.” The man explains to him, “If you attended fewer party meetings, you would know that Petrovic is sleeping with your wife.”
A policeman asks someone on the street,
“What is your opinion about the latest party resolution?”
“The same as yours.”
“Then I must arrest you!”
