Humor: Car Sale In Russia

Morris, a Russian man, saved his rubles for twenty
years to buy a car. After choosing the model and
options he wants, he's not the least bit surprised or
even concerned to learn that it will take two years for
the new car to be delivered. He thanks the salesman
and starts to leave, but as he reaches the door he
pauses and turns back to the salesman, "Do you
know which week two years from now the new car
will arrive?" he asks.

The salesman checks his notes and tells the Morris
that it will be two years to the exact week. The man
thanks the salesman and starts out again, but upon
reaching the door, he turns back again.

"Could you possibly tell me what day of the week two
years from now the car will arrive?"

The salesman, mildly annoyed, checks his notes again
and says that it will be exactly two years from this week,
on Thursday.

Morris thanks the salesman and once again starts to
leave. Halfway through the door, he hesitates, turns
back, and walks up to the salesman.

"I'm sorry to be so much trouble, but do you know if
that will be two years from now on Thursday in the
morning, or in the afternoon?"

Visibly irritated, the salesman flips through his papers
yet another time and says sharply that it will be in the
after-noon, two years from now on Thursday.

"That's a relief!" says Morris. "The plumber is coming
that morning."
