In the time of Yugoslavia, two friends, Milan (a Serb) and Mujo (a Bosniak/Muslim) were sitting and having coffee in a village outside of Sarajevo.

Milan asks Mujo, "why does your wife always walk 5 steps behind you?". Mujo replies that that's mandated by the Koran, it's a way of the wife showing respect and deference to the husband.

Milan shrugs it off and they continue socializing for the rest of the day.

War happens and Milan has to leave Sarajevo.

When the war is over, Milan returns and tries to find his old friend. He find him and, to his surprise, his wife is walking 5 steps in front of him.

the two old friends are happy to see each other and Milan asks him, "how come your wife is walking 5 steps in front of you? I thought you told me that the Koran says she must walk behind you 5 steps"

Mojo answers, "landmines"

"The US is beset by many problems," begins Clinton. "We have high unemployment, we're plagued by many foreign crises and our country has become politically polarized. Please tell me, God, when will these problems be solved?' God looks down upong on Clinton and announces all will be well within six years. Clinton to begins to hysterically sob, "but I won't be President in six years."

Now Yeltsin petitions God: "Dear Lord, I am dealing with rampant gangsterism in the economy and a continuing break-up of what's left of the Russian Federation. Please tell me, God, when will these problems be solved?" God looks down upon Yeltsin and says it will be a decade until all is well in Russia. tears stream down Yeltsin's cheeks as he mutters he'll by then be dead from liver failure.

Now It's Izetbegovic's turn: "We are the victim's of the most vile genocide since World War II. Tens of thousands of our people have been made homeless, thousands more are in death camps. ethic cleansing continues in my country's hinterlands and an equal numbers of innocents have been slaughtered. Sarajevo has become the world's largest shooting gallery. The UN-designated "Safe Havens" exist only as huge concentration camps. Please tell me when Bosnia's problems will be solved."

Now God begins to cry...

And the jokes are funny, dark and funny. I don't know if I can pick a favorite. (Auschwitz, the finger in the nose, the cigarette...) I'll be remembering some of those
