Post-Glasnost Tips for Former East Bloc Citizens:
Out of harsh necessity, youve become grudgingly accustomed to standing in endless lines for common foodstuffs and household products.
As your society becomes more Westernized, you will tend to find yourself standing instead in endless lines for popular movies, concerts, and sporting events. (As an added bonus, you will be free to choose, once inside such events, whether to wait on other endless lines to attend to bodily functions, or later, to extricate your car from the parking lot.) You will learn to think of participating in such activities as high-status forms of recreation.
