USSR Version:
Three Soviet prisoners were put into the same jail cell.
The first said, “I was always late to work, so I was accused of stealing from the people.”
The second said, “I was always early to work, so I was accused of brown-nosing.”
The third said, “I was always on time to work, so I was accused of wearing a Western watch!”
US Version:
Three executives convicted under anti-trust law were sitting at the same table in the prison cafeteria.
The first said, “I charged more than others and was convicted of price-gouging.”
The second said, “I charged less than others and was convicted of predatory pricing.”
The third said, “I charged exactly the same as everyone else and was convicted of collusion!”
