Khrushchev didn’t smoke and in return, gave Jackey his wristwatch. Later, Jackey had the watch appraised for insurance and was told it was worth only $14.
That’s funny, actually. I’d wear something like that, if I actually liked Khrushchev enough to make the jokes that go with it. Or if it was the end of the Cold War and jokes about him were still topical.
