How far from Communism

Brezhnev asked the Computer Centre to calculate how far they were from Communism.

The scientists fed all the data into the computer and waited.

A day passed, another, a third . . . and finally the computer disgorged its answer on perforated tape: 18 kilometres.

The scientists were astonished. It must be a mistake. The programme would have to be repeated.

They repeated it but again they got the same reply.

The institute's old janitor suddenly hit on the explanation:

'Listen, friends, there's no mistake, it's perfectly correct.

Comrade Brezhnev told us that each Five-Year Plan would bring us one step closer to Communism.'
