A Soviet Russian food collector and a farmer A Soviet official in charge of collecting food from farms goes to a local farm and is greatly warmly by the farmer. After some light hearted conversation, the official says, ""Anyways, I am here to collect the potatoes you have grown."" The farmer replies, ""Oh, yes. This has been a marvelous year. We have grown so many potatoes, that if we put them all into a pile, it would reach the foot of God."" The official replies, ""That is ridiculous. You know that in Soviet Russia, there is no God."" The farmer responds, ""That is fine. We have no potatoes either.""
