As the dark days of the Soviet system were ending, spirits were high and the proletariat was feeling its new strength. Nickoli attended a worker's meeting ...
"Comrades. We have made a new proposal to the managers. We will no longer work four days a week."
"Hooray!" says the crowd.
"We will finish work at 4 PM, not 5 PM."
"Hooray!" says the crowd, again.
"We will start work at 10 AM, not 9 AM."
"Hooray!"
"We have a 150% pay rise."
"Hooray!"
"We will only work on Wednesdays."
Silence . . . then a very disappointed voice from the back asks,
"Comrade, every Wednesday?"
