History Joke

[drakenmeister]

While researching German stereotypes for the German reunification paper I am writing, I found a funny joke.

Note: Erich Honecker was the head of state of East Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Early one morning, Honecker arrives at his office and opens his window. He sees the sun and says: "Good morning, dear Sun!"
The sun replies:
"Good morning, dear Erich!"
Honecker works, and then at Noon he heads to the window and says:
"Good afternoon, dear Sun!"
The sun replies:
"Good afternoon, dear Erich!"
In the evening, Erich calls it a day, and heads once more to the window, and says:
"Good evening, dear Sun!"
The sun is silent.
Honecker says again:
"Good evening, dear Sun! What is the matter with you?"
The sun replies:
"I disagree. I'm in the West now."

Heres another one.

Honecker meets Mao and asks him: "How many political opponents do you have in China?" Mao: "I estimate about 17 million." Honecker: "Oh, that's pretty much the same here." (The GDR had 17 million inhabitants)

[drakenmeister]

Thats the joke, while China only have a few percent protesters/political opponents, GDR had 100 percent.

Jesus and Satan have an argument as to who is the better programmer. This goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest, with God the Father as the judge.

They set themselves before their computers and begin. They are given the task, and began to type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen for several hours straight. Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning strikes, taking out the electricity. Moments later, the power is restored, and God announces that the contest is over.

He asks Satan to show what he has come up with. Satan indignantly protests, "I have nothing! I lost it all when the power went out." "Very well, then," says God, "let us see if Jesus fared any better."Jesus enters a command and the screen comes to life with a vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers. Satan is astonished.

He stutters, "B-b-but how? I lost everything, yet Jesus' program is intact! How did he do it?"

God chuckles, "Satan, when are you going to learn ...Jesus saves!"
