There was a major sporting event carried out last week between the USA
and the Soviet Union. As it was very, very tough the scores were
designed to be very low.
The final score was the USA: 1; Soviet Union: 0.
Picking up a Soviet paper one read a very brief account of the sporting
event only to find the final score at the end of the article. It went
something like this:
"The USA scored only one point, while the Soviet Union finished in
second place."
Get my point......?

BTW, this is from an old joke so please read it as I apply it! :-)
