An East German Joke

The story goes that one morning Erich Heneker, East Germany's leader from 1971-1989, opens his window and says "Good morning, sun."

And the sun says, "Good Morning, Comrade Honeker."

At noon, Honeker says, "Good afternoon, sun."

And the sun says, "Good Afternoon, Comrade Honeker."

In the evening Honeker says, "Good Evening, sun."

Dead silence.

"Sun?"

More silence.

And Honeker yells, "Hey, sun!"

And the sun yells back, "GO **** YOURSELF HONEKER! I'M IN THE WEST NOW!

Erich Honeker spent the last five years of his life as a fugitive from justice... in exile...in the West. :)
