I was in Odessa a while back (still soviet in those days) - Gorby had just introduced a tax on vodka (not a popular move) and a KGB chap told this one ...
Two guys in a queue to buy vodka get talking, one says
I've had enough of this I'm going to kill Gorbachev -
The other says
Hang on, I have my army pistol at home, if you keep my place I will go and shoot him.
The first man agrees - The following day the second man returns,
'Did you shoot him?'
'Nah. The queue to shoot him was longer than the queue for this vodka'
