37. This reminds me of an old Soviet joke I've heard at DU.

Every morning, a Soviet citizen walks up to the newsstand, buys a copy of Pravda, looks at the front page and throws it in the trash. He does this for months, and finally the newsstand guy can't stand it and asks the guy what's up.

The guy says, "I'm looking at the obituaries."

The newsstand guy says, "Those aren't on the front page; they're inside the paper."

The customer says, "The one I'm looking for will be on the front page."
