Stalin is giving a big speech
-
Stalin is giving a big speech when somebody sneezes, he abruptly stops, "Who was that?"
Nobody says a word. Stalin commands, "Execute the first row." The guards do so. "Now who was it?!"
Again nobody says anything. He commands, "Now the second row."
At this point a meek voice chirps, "It was me."
Stalin looks at the man and leans forward, "Bless you, comrade!"
