Three men were convicted as spies in Russia, and sentenced to death. One was Hungarian, one was Polish and other
was Ukrainian. “You have been sentenced to death, but,” said the warden of the prison, “after you are dead and have been cremated, you will have a free choice as to where you would like your ashes to be spread.”
All three thought for a moment, and finally the Polish convict spoke up. “I would like my ashes spread over the
statue of that great polish general, General Polaski.”
The Hungarian said, “I would like my ashes spread over the statue of that great Hungarian General, General Nagy.
“We will see to that for you as your last wish,” said the warden.
Then the Ukrainian spoke up. “I would like my ashes spread over the statue of that Great Russian President,
Vladimir Putin.”
“But,” said the warden. Putin isn’t dead, yet.”
“OK,” said the Ukrainian, “I’ll wait.”
