I've got a new one.

Honecker comes into his office in the morning,

opens the window, looks at the sun and says...

What's the matter?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm just...

That was...
I had...

No, no, please, colleague, 
you are welcome.

We are still free to laugh 
about the Chairman of the State Council.

Come on.

Probably, I know the joke already.

Well, come on. Let us know the joke.

Well, Honecker, the General Secretary,

looks at the sun and says:

"Good morning, dear sun."

"Good morning, dear sun."

This way.

And the sun replies:

"Good morning, dear Erich."

At noon Erich goes to the window again,
opens it, looks at the sun and says:

"Hello, dear sun."

And the sun replies:

"Hello, dear Erich."

And in the evening after work Honecker goes 
to the window again and says:

"Good evening, dear sun."

But the sun doesn't answer.

Now, he asks once again:

"Good evening, dear sun."

"What's the matter?"

And the sun replies:

" Kiss my ass! I'm out west now."

( all laughing )

Well, well.

All right. Name?

Rank, division?

Me?

Stiegler. Second lieutenant Axel Stiegler.
Division M.

Well, I suppose I don't have to tell you

what consequences this might have
for your career, you just did.

Please. Comrade lieutenant colonel,

I just...

You just sneered at our party.
That was agitation.

Obviously, it's just the tip of the iceberg.

I'm going to report to the ministry office.

( laughs )

I'm just kidding.

Pretty well, huh?

Yours was pretty well, too.

I've got a better one.

What's the difference between Erich Honecker
and a telephone?

Mmh, well?

Nothing.
Replace, try again.
