A man in Soviet Hungary is waiting in line at the state butchers for four hours, just as he gets to the front to get his small piece of grissle, they say they are all out and close the butcher.
The man finally snaps, and starts screaming at the top of his voice about how corrupt the system is, how much better it was before communism and how he just wants a small bit of meat. The man behind him grabs him and says "Comrade be quiet - you know what will happen if you continue".
The man calms down, stops and goes back to see his wife. He enters the house and his wife asks where the meat is. He says "I stood in line for four hours and then they ran out".
She replies: "Wow - are things really that bad?!"
