The Israeli replied, “What kind of question is that? It is Lenin, the founding father of socialism. I bring him home as a reminder of my good time in Russia!”
The officials, impressed by the answer, said: “OK, you can go.”
Later, at Tel Aviv, de customs officials saw de bust and asked, “What is this?”
The Israeli man replied, “What kind of question is that? It is Lenin, the guy who invented socialism. I left Russia because of him. He is to remind me of my terrible time over there!”
The officials, impressed by the answer, said, “OK, you can go.”
The Israeli arrived home. Many people came to visit him. One of his nephews asked, “Who is this?”
The Israeli replied, “What kind of question is that? It is 10kg of gold, which is tax-free!
