Problem Quotes

• Imagine a country that flies into space, launches Sputniks, creates such a defense system, and it can't resolve the problem of women's pantyhose. There's no toothpaste, no soap powder, not the basic necessities of life. It was incredible and humiliating to work in such a government.

And that's not funny....OK, well, if I say that, I might get a shock laugh, but it's not really satire.
