Rootin' for Putin
A terrorist holds Putin hostage in a car, demanding 10 mn yuan to avoid setting him on fire with petrol. A truck driver on a motorway queue learns about the situation from a policeman asking for donations.

As the policeman approaches the truck, the driver rolls down his window and asks, 'What's going on?'
Policeman: A terrorist is holding the Russian president hostage in a car. He's demanding 10 mn yuan, or he'll douse Putin in petrol and set him on fire. So we're asking drivers for donations.
Driver: Oh, ok. How much are people donating on average?
Policeman: About 4 litres.
