Two friends lived in a Communist country

Two friends lived in a Communist country. The first friend asked, “Comrade, if you had two houses, would you give one of them to me?”

The second friend replied, “Of course, Comrade!”

The first friend was happy with this answer. He then asked, “If you had two cars, would you give one of them to me?”

“Of course!” replied the second friend.

Overjoyed, the first friend then asked, “If you had two chickens, would you give one of them to me?”

“No, comrade!” The second friend said.

Surprised and distraught, the first friend asked, “Why not, Comrade?”

“I actually have two chickens!” The second friend said.
