Reagan (supposedly) told this one to Gorbachev:
A
Russian and an
American are in a
bar. The
American says "
America is great. I can march into the
Oval Office, pound on the president's desk, and say: '
Mr. President, I don't like the way you're running our country.'
"The
Russian responded, "So what? I can, too!"
The
incredulous American said, "
You can?"
The Russian replied, "Sure. I can waltz right into the
Kremlin, and say: '
Mr. General Secretary, I don't like the way that
President Reagan is running his country!'"

Gorbachev thought it was
funny.
