The day after Stalin's death... ...the Soviet nation decided to get rid of him once and for all and bury him as far away as possible. They set up a special commission. The commission turned to the British government with the request that they make available a plot in a British cemetery.

So they tried the Germans. ""Well, we would bury him here,' reply the Germans, but Hitler is already buried here. Two such great tyrants in the one country ..."" Suddenly there arrived a telegram from Tel Aviv: ""In view of the fact that Stalin did not block the creation of the state of Israel, we agree to bury him here."" ""No way,"" said the members of the commission in sudden panic. ""No way. After all they had a resurrection there ...'""
