At the interpols headquarters in Lyon a competition of world’s best detective was held. In the final were 3 agencies competing for the title; a Scotland Yard (SY) detective from GB, an FBI agent from the USA and a KGB officer from the USSR. All candidates were told that in the room next doors would be 1 table with one object on it. The objective was to investigate the object and report the results as soon as possible. First to go was the Scotland Yard detective. The man entered the room and found a scull on top of the table. A short glance on the scull revealed the man that this was a scull of an Egyptian pyramid builder who died 30 years before Christ. Immediately the SY detective left the room and reported the jury. On the jury’s inquiry how he knew all this the man replayed it was just a matter of experience he had gained with SY.
Second was the FBI. As soon as he entered the room he opened his laptop and attached plugs to the scull. About 5 minutes later he reported to the jury it was a scull of an Egyptian pyramid builder who died 30 years before Christ. The jury wanted to know how he got this conclusion on which the FBI agent explained the jury he had written the Egyptian hieroglyphics on the inside of the man’s scull. Impressed by the method of investigating the jury concluded the FBI was now in second place and asked the KGB Officer to enter the room to do his investigation.
After 5 minutes there was return of the KGB officer what delighted the FBI. After half an hour there was still no other sign of the officer except of heavy sounds coming from the room. After an hour comes out the KGB officer, sweating, breathing, and whispering with the last breath he has; I know wat it is, I know what it is, it is an Egyptian pyramid builder who died 30 years before Christ. “And how did you came to this conclusion?” the jury asked. “I made him confess” the KGB officer replied.

Reminds me of this one:
The KGB, the FBI and the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at catching criminals. The Secretary General of the UN decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it.
The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that the rabbit does not exist.
The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and make no apologies: the rabbit had it coming.
The KGB goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear. The bear is yelling: “Okay! Okay! I’m a rabbit! I’m a rabbit!"
