>From the WSJ 9/24/82:

	A polish worker walks into a
bank to deposit his paycheck.  But he has
heard about Poland's economic problems, 
and asks what would happen to his 
money if the bank collapsed.
  "All of our deposits are guaranteed by the
finance minstry, sir", the teller replies.
  "But what if the finance ministry goes
broke?" the worker asks.
  "Then the government will intercede to
protect the working class," the teller says.
  "But what if the government goes broke?"
the worker asks.
  "Our socialist comrades in the Soviet Union
naturally will come to our assistance", the
teller responds with growing irritation.
  "And if the Soviet Union goes broke?" the
worker asks.
  "Idiot!" the teller snorts.  "Isn't that
worth losing one lousy paycheck?"
