The new Russian has just finished having his new mansion built. He invites a friend to visit and shows the place off. It is huge with all the latest imported gadgets and fancy furniture, etc. etc. The only exception is when they come to the toilet and there the visitor sees piles of old Pravdas stacked for obvious use as toilet paper. The visitor inquires regarding this apparent anomaly in an otherwise impeccably expensive mansion. The new Russian host replies that they are they for "nostalgia." Barkley Rosser
