"Morning or Afternoon?"

Ivan paid the required 5,000 rubles in advance for an automobile, and the factory representative informed him that it would be delivered in exactly ten years to the day.

--"Will that be in the morning or the afternoon?" asked Ivan.
--"How could that possibly matter?" asked the factory representative.  "We're talking ten years from now."
--"Well, you see" replied Ivan "the plumber comes that afternoon."
