Vladimir Putin
During his trip to China, Putin is held hostage by a terrorist. A truck driver stops at the back of a long queue on the motorway. He sees a policeman walking down the line of stopped cars to briefly talk to the drivers.

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.
