I have been told the following joke multiple times by former Iron Curtain denizens:
Soviet citizen 1: Look at my new watch! Made right here!
Soviet citizen 2: It's so beautiful, elegant, and small!
Soviet citizen 1 [picking up two large, dense boxes by their handles, one per hand] : Yeah, but these are the batteries it runs on.
