Some years ago, a foreigner was visiting the USSR.
As he was walking along the footpath, his foot caught in an open, unmarked manhole, and he all but fell in to the pungent, briskly-flowing sludge below.
In his frustration he berated a passer-by.
"Why on earth is this man-hole left uncovered? It's unbelievably dangerous. There should at least be something to warn people to be careful. In my country we would mark a hole like this with red flags!"
"But sir," replied the passer-by, "When you entered the USSR, didn't you notice the big, red flag at the border?"
