Brasil when the military dictators ruled, quite unpopularly.
One of the recent Generals elevated to the presidency was taking his first flight aboard the Brasilian version of Air Force One.
After the plane had climbed for a time, the pilot announced over the intercom, "Welcome Mr. President; we are cruising at a speed of 350 knots and we flying over Sao Paulo at a height of approximately 10,000 meters."
The president confusedly looked at the offiicers around him, "My God! I knew Brasil was big but I never knew it was so tall."
