The Russian Prime Minister comes to President Putin and nervously tells him to abolish these time zones.
Putin: Why?
Prime Minister: Ah, I can’t find myself with these times.
I fly to another city, call home and everyone is asleep.
Once, I woke you up at 4 in the morning, but I thought it was only evening.
I called Angela Merkel to congratulate her on her birthday and she tells me she had it yesterday.
And then, when I wished the Chinese President a happy New Year, and he said that it was on the next day.
Putin: Well, these are just minor issues.
Prime Minister: Minor issues?!
Do you remember when that Polish plane crashed with their President?
I called them to express my condolences, but the plane hadn’t even taken off yet!!!
