DDR-Witz - Walter Ulbricht bei die Handelsmarine 2012

Comrade Walter Ulbricht wanted to inform himself
about the accomplishments of our commercial fleet.

He goes to Warnemünde
and stands in the port.

Three ships lie there. He goes
to the first one and says:

"You Comrades, where are travelling to?"

"We are going to Cuba."

"Ah? What is that, that you're taking there?"

"Machines and vehicles."

"Aha. And what are you taking back from there?"

"Oranges."

"Oh! That's something good, isn't it?"

He moves on to the next ship.

"Comrades, where are you travelling to?"

"We are going to Angola, Comrade President."

"Angola? What are you taking there?"

"Machines and vehicles."

"And what are you taking back from there?"

"Bananas."

"Oh! I think that's something good, right?
That's quite right!"

"And where are you travelling to?",
he asks the manning of the third ship.

"The Soviet Union."

"Oh, well well! To the Soviet Union?
What are tou taking there?"

"Bananas and oranges."

Then Comrade Ulbricht still
had one last question:

"And what are you taking back from there?"

"The train."
