Humor, o bom e velho humor....

Várias piadas sobre política, políticos, tiranos e presidentes no artigo cujo trecho se reproduz a seguir.

When Politics Is a Laughing Matter - Policy Review, No. 110: As the classic Soviet joke goes, one secret policeman asks another, “So, what do you think of the government?” His colleague looks around before replying, “The same as you, comrade,” whereupon Policeman No. 1 declares, “In that case, it is my duty to arrest you.” Luis E. Aguilar, professor emeritus of history at Georgetown University, recalled in Chistes: Political Humor in Cuba (Cuban American National Foundation, 1989), “I heard the same joke years later. Only then it was being whispered in Cuba.”
