Bush, Gorbachev, and Mitterand are making small-talk before a meeting about the world economy.

Mitterand says, "My friends, I am so worried. I have nine mistresses and one of them is cheating on me."

Then Bush says, "That's terrible, but I have a worse problem. I have nine cabinet members, and one of them is a KGB agent."

Gorbachev shakes his head sadly and says, "My friends, you don't know what trouble is. I have nine trusted advisors, and one of them is an economist."
