The Soviet government was cracking down on the alcohol problem that was escalating. So, a communist party official goes to a factory and says to one of the workers:
"If you had a glass of vodka could you work today?"
The worker said: "I guess I could."
"If you had two glasses of vodka, could you work?"
He said: "I guess I could."
"If you had full bottle of vodka, could you work?"
He said, "I'm here, aren't I?"
