Russian prime minister Medvedyev comes to president Putin and nervously says:
- You really need to abolish these time zones!
- Why? asks Putin
- Well I can't figure out times. I fly to another city, call home and everyone is sleeping. Last time I woke you at 4am and thought it's still evening. I call Angela Merkel to congratulate her for her birthday and she said it was yesterday. I call Hu Jintao and he says it's tomorrow.
- OK, these are all minor things. Says Putin
- What minor things. Remember the crash of Polish plane with their president. I called them to express my condolences and the plane hasn't taken off yet.
