00:00:01.409 --> 00:00:03.913
I've got a new one.

00:00:03.913 --> 00:00:07.035
Honecker comes into his office in the morning,

00:00:07.266 --> 00:00:09.490
opens the window, looks at the sun and says...

00:00:11.489 --> 00:00:13.344
What's the matter?

00:00:16.406 --> 00:00:17.713
Oh, I'm sorry.

00:00:17.713 --> 00:00:18.749
I'm just...

00:00:18.749 --> 00:00:20.270
That was...
I had...

00:00:20.270 --> 00:00:22.238
No, no, please, colleague, 
you are welcome.

00:00:22.716 --> 00:00:25.864
We are still free to laugh 
about the Chairman of the State Council.

00:00:25.864 --> 00:00:26.502
Come on.

00:00:27.318 --> 00:00:29.507
Probably, I know the joke already.

00:00:32.137 --> 00:00:34.144
Well, come on. Let us know the joke.

00:00:34.937 --> 00:00:39.926
Well, Honecker, the General Secretary,

00:00:40.819 --> 00:00:42.377
looks at the sun and says:

00:00:42.715 --> 00:00:43.846
"Good morning, dear sun."

00:00:44.416 --> 00:00:45.550
"Good morning, dear sun."

00:00:46.258 --> 00:00:47.636
This way.

00:00:50.344 --> 00:00:51.918
And the sun replies:

00:00:52.165 --> 00:00:53.937
"Good morning, dear Erich."

00:00:54.168 --> 00:00:57.687
At noon Erich goes to the window again,
opens it, looks at the sun and says:

00:00:57.687 --> 00:00:59.086
"Hello, dear sun."

00:00:59.302 --> 00:01:00.311
And the sun replies:

00:01:00.311 --> 00:01:01.820
"Hello, dear Erich."

00:01:01.820 --> 00:01:04.637
And in the evening after work Honecker goes 
to the window again and says:

00:01:04.637 --> 00:01:06.165
"Good evening, dear sun."

00:01:06.165 --> 00:01:07.526
But the sun doesn't answer.

00:01:08.265 --> 00:01:09.849
Now, he asks once again:

00:01:09.849 --> 00:01:10.758
"Good evening, dear sun."

00:01:11.066 --> 00:01:12.375
"What's the matter?"

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:13.887
And the sun replies:

00:01:13.887 --> 00:01:15.420
" Kiss my ass! I'm out west now."

00:01:15.581 --> 00:01:17.050
( all laughing )

00:01:18.081 --> 00:01:19.616
Well, well.

00:01:20.247 --> 00:01:22.340
All right. Name?

00:01:22.817 --> 00:01:25.703
Rank, division?

00:01:27.150 --> 00:01:28.180
Me?

00:01:30.750 --> 00:01:34.749
Stiegler. Second lieutenant Axel Stiegler.
Division M.

00:01:35.049 --> 00:01:37.005
Well, I suppose I don't have to tell you

00:01:37.005 --> 00:01:40.016
what consequences this might have
for your career, you just did.

00:01:42.016 --> 00:01:45.653
Please. Comrade lieutenant colonel,

00:01:45.653 --> 00:01:47.367
I just...

00:01:47.367 --> 00:01:50.945
You just sneered at our party.
That was agitation.

00:01:51.391 --> 00:01:53.514
Obviously, it's just the tip of the iceberg.

00:01:54.330 --> 00:01:56.254
I'm going to report to the ministry office.

00:02:03.579 --> 00:02:05.558
( laughs )

00:02:08.020 --> 00:02:10.405
I'm just kidding.

00:02:10.405 --> 00:02:11.601
Pretty well, huh?

00:02:11.601 --> 00:02:13.194
Yours was pretty well, too.

00:02:13.487 --> 00:02:14.841
I've got a better one.

00:02:15.380 --> 00:02:17.392
What's the difference between Erich Honecker
and a telephone?

00:02:17.704 --> 00:02:18.868
Mmh, well?

00:02:20.022 --> 00:02:22.544
Nothing.
Replace, try again.
