Joke About a Kyiv Corruption Investigation and Money in a Nightstand

You know, there's a very old joke about that.

And we've got an ancient joke in this respect.

It has no spatial connection, so, no spatial attachment whatsoever.

Well, it is not related to any territory.

But given the circumstances today, I'll put it this way: let's say some crook who built some cottages outside Kyiv, is invited by the investigative authorities, to NABU itself.

Like, for example, just imagine, uh, there's a, a, a con artist, a swindler who illegitimately built some, some houses, cottages in the Kyiv region, and all of a sudden he's summoned to, well, to the investigative bodies, like the Ukrainian, uh, Security Agency.

They ask him, "Where did you get the money?"

And he's inquired, "Where have you obtained the money for that?"

He answers, "In the nightstand." Well, and he respa—he responds, “Well, in, in, uh, in my bedroom, in a case.”

Yes, okay. And who put the money in the nightstand?

And who put, uh, and who put the money in, in that, in that case?

My wife. “My, my wife.” And where did your wife get it?

And where does she have the money from? I gave it to her.

“I gave it to her.” And where did you get it?

And where have you got it from? From the nightstand.

Out of that, uh, out of that case or closet in the bedroom.

The circle is complete.
