My cousin who lives in Riga, Latvia, told me that some years ago when the Baltic states were still in the vile grip of the Soviets,
the man himself; Stalin, was to visit a huge manufacturing plant in
a place called Ogre (pronounced - o'grey).

To mark this auspicious day 1000 badges were printed with the word "Stalin" on one side, his gruesome face in the centre, and "Ogre" on the other side.

They went like hot cakes!

And were all gone by the time the soviet authorities noticed the error.
