Jokes and Jokes and Jokes

I was riding with an Albanian the other day and he told me a couple of good jokes.

The first:

George W Bush, Silvio Berlusconi and Sali Berisha (Prime Minister of Albania) are all flying together on a private plane. The pilot tells them that both engines have failed and that there is only one more parachute. Then the pilot jumps out of the plane.

Sali Berisha says, "We'll we're all leaders of democracies...let's hold a vote to see who gets the parachute. Bush and Burlusconi concur and the vote is held.

Berisha is the winner. He takes the parachute and jumps out of the plane.

As Bush and Berlusconi watch him fall safely under a deployed chute Bush says, "That's democracy. He won fair and square by a 40 vote margin"

The Second:

An American, a German, an Englishman and an Albanian have a meeting with God to discuss the economic crisis. The American pushes the others aside and asks, "Oh God, when will the crisis in America end." Before he is finished God replies, "Twenty years." The American says, "I can't wait that long," pulls out a pistol and kills himself. Next the German approaches God and asks, "Oh God, when will the economic crisis pass in Germany?" God answers without hesitation, "Fifty years." The German takes out a gun, shoots the Englishman to death and then kills himself. The Albanian steps carefully over the bodies of the American, German and Englishman and asks, "Oh God, when will the economic crisis in Albania come to an end." God strokes his beard for a moment deep in thought, then quickly pulls out a pistol and takes his own life.

I hope you enjoyed this look into the Albanian psyche.
