Brezhnev looks at the Sun in the zenith and says, "Hello, Sun!"
    Sun says, "Good day, Leonid Illich, how are you today?  Such a pleasure to
see you!"
    Well, they are both amazed.  They spend the rest of the day arranging a

Square, all of Politbureau standing on the Mausoleum balcony, Brezhnev
triumphantly strode out and announced:
    "Comrades!  Watch this:"

    Sun said, "F**k you, a**hole, I'm in the West now..."
