Who Sneezed?
The Communist party gathered, and the main speaker was Stalin.
Someone sneezed.
Stalin said,
“Comrades, who sneezed?”
There was a deathly silence.
Stalin said,
“I ask again, comrades, who sneezed?”
The silence intensified.
Stalin said,
“Shoot down the first row!”
The guards sprayed the first row with bullets.
Stalin said,
“Comrades, I ask AGAIN, who sneezed?”
Dead silence.
Stalin said,
“Shoot down the second row!”.
The guards did the bloody job.
Stalin said,
“I ask for the last damned time, comrades,
WHO SNEEZED?!”
Then, from the last row a trembling,
sweaty little man rose to his feet and timidly said,
“It was me, Comrade Stalin".
Stalin said, “ Bless you.”
