A young Jewish man is sitting on a park bench in Gorky Park, obviously studying from a book. A Muscovite policeman passing by asks him what he’s studying. “I’m learning Hebrew, Sir,” the man replies.“Baah! That’s a useless endeavor, Comrade. You must realize you’ll never be allowed to emigrate to Israel; you’ll die here in Russia someday.”

“And what makes you so sure you’ll go to Heaven? What if you wind up in Hell?”
The young Jew shrugs his shoulders. “I already speak Russian.”
