Torres Oranges. They export everywhere. And everywhere means everywhere. No home without a Torres Orange. Be you with Torres. Eat them until you can't possibly eat any more. Torres Oranges.

The mood was becoming too light, so here's a sobering joke:
Stalin delivers a speech to a large audience in the Kremlin. Suddenly someone sneezes.
Stalin: Who sneezed?
Everyone is shaking, and no one dares to confess.
Stalin: First row, rise and leave. You’ll be shot.
(Applause)
Stalin: So, who sneezed?
Silence.
Stalin: Second row, rise and leave. You’ll be shot.
(Ovation, shouts: ‘Hail great Stalin!’)

A GDR citizen is walking through East Berlin late at night and keeps shouting loudly: "Shitty state, shitty government!"
Suddenly a Stasi officer appears and arrests him.
The man wants to know why the Stasi officer reproaches him for his loud statements.
The man defends himself and says: "I didn't even say which shitty state and shitty government I meant."
The Stasi officer thinks about it for a moment and lets the man go.
The man walks away, but the Stasi officer catches up with him two minutes later and arrests him again.
The man asks: "Why are you doing this?"
The Stasi officer says: "I just realised that there is only one shitty state and one shitty government …" ▲ Collapse

Good joke! From what I've read of Uncle Joe, it wouldn't have been such a strange occurrence. Friendly or murderous? Keep them guessing about your mood at all times, that's what he did. He even lay half-dead beside his bed for ages on his last day on earth because none of his bodyguards or anyone else dared go in to see why he hadn't emerged yet.

Do you know why the US President, when delivering a speech, has one huge mike, whereas General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union has multiple small mikes?
Well, it’s because in the case of the US President it’s a real mike, while in the case of the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union only one of them is a real mike. The rest of them are oxygen supply tubes disguised as mikes...

No, I have to admit my dumbness. I assume it's a French joke about la petite mort, but it's the parrot bit I don't get. The parrot has been repeating stuff, but what?

The Death is small in size because a parrot is a small bird. Otherwise, the Death would be as tall as a normal human being.

Three men are stranded in the desert and find a genie lamp.
They are all starving and dehydrated in the hot desert.
Pablo the Mexican walks up to the genie lamp and rubs it...
Genie: Pablo the Mexican, I will grant you one wish and one wish only! Choose your next words carefully!
Pablo: I am a pilot and I do miss flying.. I wish that I had an airplane to fly out of here.

Kevin: I sure do miss my wife and children... I wish that I was at home with my family.
Genie: A family’s man? Your wish is granted!

Genie: João the Portuguese! I will grant you one wish and one wish only! Choose your next words wisely!
John: Damn, it’s pretty lonely out here in the desert, I wish that my friends were here!!

It does, apparently.

This is a real conversation between my husband and me earlier.
He was looking at some devices for e-books on the Internet.
'I have so many e-books; I need the final solution,' he said.
'The Final Solution!?' I was surprised.
'To find a solution! Are you OK!?'

| Sinking ship (classics) | Jan 15 |
A very devoted person takes a trip by sea to go to a holy place. Suddenly, the ship starts sinking and the very devoted person implores to God:
- God, I dedicated my life to you. In fact, I’m on my way to a holy place to worship you. I haven’t sinned in my entire life! Why are you permitting that I die here at sea?!
The God pokes his head through the clouds and responds:
- Damn it, man! I wish I could save you. I really do. But I spent last three years... See more A very devoted person takes a trip by sea to go to a holy place. Suddenly, the ship starts sinking and the very devoted person implores to God:

| No truth in the news, and no news in the truth | Jan 15 |
Another Soviet joke that works better in Russian, and Merab will surely get it, but it's interesting anyway.
The "Truth (Pravda)" and the "News (Izvestiya)" were propaganda-heavy, government-controlled newspapers in the USSR: В Правде нет известий, в Известиях нет правды. (V Pravde nyet izvestiy, v Izvestiyach nyet pravdy.)
