A Russian walks into a bar and orders a beer. 'That will be one ruble, ' says the bartender. 'One ruble!' the customer protests, 'last week it was only fifty kopeks!' 'Well, ' replies the bartender, 'it's fifty kopeks for the beer and fifty kopecs for the perestroika. ' Reluctantly, the customer gives the bartender a ruble, and is surprised when the bartender gives him back fifty kopecs and says, 'We are out of beer. '
