All that waiting stuff reminds me of an old Russian joke that a Russian
programmer told me once: a guy had been saving for ten years to get a new
car, and finally had enough money and walked into a Lada dealer and slammed
the money on the desk and ordered one. The dealer went through his papers
and said that he could have the car in just four years, on 8th june, and
the guy who was ordering asked: "At what time?"

The dealer was a bit surprised, because he had expected the buyer to go mad
because of the long wait, and asked why the guy wanted to know the exact
time. "Well, the plumber is coming to fix the boiler at nine, so I
can't pick it up before that".

Ha ha ha.
