To illustrate the peculiar sense of humor that was required to survive "the previous system"
- example:A guy goes through customs at the airport after getting back to the country. Customs officer asks him about his weight.
- ...? 122 pounds.
- That's odd, when you were leaving you weighted 125...
- Well, I've lost some weight and...
- That will be 30...
- What?
- Ten for each pound lost, isn't it simple?
- But why...?
- And what do you think? You get back with few pounds less, if everybody would do so, there would be less citizens here, in our fair country! Education?
- ...I've got a degree in...
- That makes 60.
- ???
Customs officer shows him a big banner saying "Each pound of educated citizen is the biggest asset of our Nation!"
