Intelligence Agency Competition

The KGB, the FBI, and the CIA are all trying to prove they are the best at catching criminals. The Secretary-General of the UN decides to set them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest, and each of them has to catch it.

The CIA people go 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!"

Experiment

This joke plays on the stereotypes of different intelligence agencies. The CIA is thorough but ineffective, the FBI is aggressive and destructive, and the KGB is brutal and gets results through intimidation. The humor comes from the absurd contrast in their approaches to catching a simple rabbit.
