The guy who's in charge, a low party functionary, begins to harangue the members at one of these meetings for their poor attendance. "YOU!" he yells at one guy, "Who is Andropov?" The guy admits he doesn't know. The leader says, "See! if you came to these meetings, if you studied, you would know that Andropov was the head of the Soviet Union and was very important to us!" He picks out another member. "YOU! Who is Jarluzelski?" The member admits he doesn't know who he is. "Ah!" the leader says, "You don't attend, you don't study, ... , you don't even know the name of the head of the Polish government!" Suddenly a small voice from the back of the room calls out, "Who's Novak?" "I..I don't know responds the leader. The small voice in the back answers, "If you didn't spend so much time out at these meetings you'd know that Novak is going out with your wife!" Another joke from Prof Cohen.
