       - During the first evening that you spend with the man you want to marry always agree with him. Drink what he offers; go where he invites you to go, etc. But at the very last moment say to him: 'Oh, no! I have changed my mind!' Your partner will regard you as a reasonable, thoughtful woman.
       - Some men pretend that they don't want to marry saying that they haven't enjoyed themselves yet, and that marriage for them is like a yoke. Never pay attention to it. You know much better what that stupid monster really needs.
       - It would be good if you often wept. When the man comes to visit you, you should meet him with tear drops on your face - you haven't seen him for ages! When he comes you should weep because you are so happy to see him. When he goes home you should sob violently because he leaves you. Your prospective husband must see your sufferings and be aware of his fault that can be redeemed only by marriage.

       53.I was happy! I met the best girl in the world and she agreed to marry me. Her parents encouraged us and liked me. The only thing that confused me was the behavior of my girl's younger sister. She used to ware skin-tight t-shirts and very short skirts. She used to bend over to pick up something from the floor and I could see her panties. I was sure she did it on purpose. A week before the wedding day she phoned and asked me to come to her place to have a look at the wedding invitations. When I came she said:
       - I loved you at first sight and I can't overcome this feeling. I'll go upstairs to my bedroom and if you wish follow me and take me!
       When going upstairs she put off her panties and flung them at me. For a while I stood as if in a trance then went to the entrance door and resolutely headed to my car standing in the yard. Here my girl's father met me and said with tears in his eyes:
       - We are very glad that you have passed this test. You are a decent person. Welcome to our family!
       He began shaking my hands. And I thought: "How clever it is of me to keep condoms in the car's glove box."

Your granddad keeps order in the house, so he is the Trade Union. Our housemaid sweeps the floor, washes up, and launders, so she is the Working Class. All this is done for your sake, so you are the People. And your one-year-old brother is the Future. Have you got it?
       Son: No, I haven't!
       Father: OK, you are too young. And now it's time to go to bed.
       In the midnight the boy was woken up by his younger brother's cry. He went to his parents' bedroom but failed to wake up his mother who slept like a log. Then he headed to the kitchen where his father was having sex with the housemaid while the granddad was peeping at them through the keyhole. Finally he came back to his bedroom to fall asleep again. In the morning he met his dad and said:
       Son: Dad, I understand now what politics is!
       Father: ????
       Son: Politics is when the Finance Department fucks the Working Class while the Government sleeps and the Trade Union just watches it without doing anything. And everybody doesn't give a fuck about People, and the Future is all in shit!
