It's 1988 and all of a sudden, God comes down from the heavens and speaks to Ronald Reagan and East German President Erich Honecker while both are in bed and tells them that the world will end tomorrow.

The next morning, Reagan meets with his top advisers and says:

'I've got good news and bad news. The good news is God exists. The bad news is the world's ending.'

Honecker also addresses his top people the next day and says:

'I've got good news and bad news. The bad news is God exists. The good news is Perestroika's ending.'
