Three citizens of the former Soviet Eastern Bloc - a Pole, a Czech, and a Jew - were accused of spying and were sentenced to death. Each man was granted one last wish.
"I want my ashes scattered over the grave of Pilsudski," said the Pole.
"I want my ashes scattered over the grave of Masaryk," said the Czech.
"And I," said the Jew, "want my ashes scattered over the grave of Comrade Kosygin."
"But that's impossible," he was told. "Kosygin isn't dead yet."
"Fine," said the Jew. "I can wait."
