Three friends stay in a hotel in Soviet Russia.
Two of them drink vodka and tell loud jokes about the government. The third friend is very tired and cannot sleep.
Angry, he goes downstairs to smoke. On the way, he asks the hotel worker to bring tea to Room 39 in five minutes.
He goes back to the room. Then he looks at a power socket and says as a joke, “Comrade officer, please send tea to Room 39.”
His friends laugh.
A few minutes later, someone knocks. The hotel worker comes in with a teapot.
The friends stop laughing. They turn white with fear. The night ends quietly, and the tired man finally sleeps.
In the morning, he wakes up and sees his friends are gone. He asks the hotel worker what happened.
She whispers, “The secret police came at night and took them away.”
He asks, “Why didn’t they take me?”
She answers, “The officer liked your tea joke.”
