In a capitalist country, when a recession hits, you eat out less or postpone that purchase of a big-screen TV.
In a communist country, when a recession hits, you feel it closer to home. Or closer to the bathroom.
Take Cuba, for example. This glorious island people’s republic is experiencing an embarrassing shortage of … toilet paper.
That’s right, comrade. After you’ve done your business (the only kind of business allowed in a socialist paradise) you may find yourself lacking the people’s best friend.
Sure, you’ve got an AK-47 and a fancy book of the Glorious Leader’s thoughts, but you can’t squeeze the Charmin like those fiends on Wall Street.
In times like this, I suggest tearing out a page or two of the Glorious Leader’s thoughts and using that paper in a way that’s actually appropriate.
Just don’t get caught by the secret police, or you will have bigger problems.
... Workers of the word unite; you have nothing to lose but your stains.

As the Cuban astronomer said, "There seems to be a cosmic disturbance around Uranus tonight."

You sinners are insensitive to the hygienic needs of our socialist brothers and sisters in the Glorious Workers' Paradise.

It's all George Bush's fault. And that evil Dick Cheney, who waterboarded fairies and elves.
