While touring the Soviet Union, a foreign dignitary saw a team of a hundred workers digging an irrigation canal with shovels. The foreign dignitary commented that, with adequate machinery, a single worker could create the canal in a couple hours. The Soviet representative replied: "We prefer using workers with shovels so we create more jobs for our comrades". To that, the foreign dignitary replied "Then, why don't you use a thousand workers with spoons instead of a hundred with shovels?"
