(chuckle, topical)

This joke appeared in yesterday's (UK) Sunday Times, in an article on East Germany, by Peter Millar:

"Down at the Communist party offices they had a plague of rats. Along came a little girl who said she could get rid of them if they would promise her whatever she wanted. They agreed. So she took a clockwork mouse and trailed it behind her; all the rats followed her to the river, where she kicked the mouse in and they all drowned. The delighted communists asked her what she wanted. She said `a clockwork Russian soldier.'"
