Dietrich Fischer – TRANSCEND Media Service
A communist party functionary came home after midnight, and his wife was furious. He apologized profusely and explained,
“You know, I was at the bar, and suddenly a beautiful blonde sat next to me and we began talking and drinking together. Before I knew it, midnight had passed.”
The wife shouted,
“Rubbish! Just admit you were again at a party meeting!”
