Now, Where Was I?

Leonid Brezhnev, a former ruler of Russia, was thought not to be too bright. He comes to address a big Communist party meeting, and starts:

"Dear Comrade Imperialists,"

The whole hall perked up - "what did he say?" Brezhnev tried again...

"Dear Comrade Imperialists,"

Well, by now the hall was in pandemonium - was he trying to call them Imperialists? Then, an advisor walked over to the podium and pointed to the speech for Brezhnev. "Oh..." he muttered, and started again:

"Dear Comrades, Imperialists are everywhere."

"Honestly?" his mother replied.

"Aw, gee, Ma, what a time to bring that up!" he said.

3 sharks meet in the ocean. They talk about the people they recently have eaten.

The first one says, "I swallowed the Ayatollah yesterday, but the guy had eaten so much garlic I still feel sick."
