A Russian walks into a bar
and orders a
beer. „That will be one ruble,“ says the bartender.
„One ruble!“
the customer protests, „last week it was only fifty
kopeks!“ „Well,“
replies the bartender, „it’s fifty kopeks for the beer
and fifty
kopecs for the perestroika.“ Reluctantly, the customer
gives the bartender
a ruble, and is surprised when the bartender
gives him back fifty
kopecs and says, „We are out of beer.“
