Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody

This is an old story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody - always relevant.


There was an important job to be done, and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done!

А он и отвечает: "А кто в трубке?" Бедняга никак потом не мог понять, почему мы смеёмся.
