Iron curtain

2 German boys from Berlin are in are arguing about who lives better.

One of them on the western side, the other one on the eastern side, shouting across the Berlin wall.

The fat West Berliner boy has a Hamburger in his hands, while the thin, East Berliner, suffering of malnutrition is biting on a stale bread...

East Berliner boy: "We're Warsaw Pact members, we can crush you with our T-72 tanks whenever we want!"

West Berliner boy: "That's nothin'! We're NATO members and we can bomb your tanks into piles of junk with our fighterplanes!"

East Berliner boy: "Oh yeah? Well, we got a Trabant car and a tractor for our arable land too!"

West Berliner boy: "That's crap! We got a brand new Chrysler with air conditioning and we also have a yacht!"

East Berliner boy: "Who cares! You don't have state-run centralized economy like we do!"

West Berliner: "Yeah? Well, we will have, you can bet on that!"

East Berliner boy: "All right, but you won't have any hamburgers then!"

The Iron curtain is a barbed-wire fence stretching from Hungary to East Germany with guard towers and constantly patrolling communist border guards beside it who shoot everyone who attempts to escape through it into the free western World.

Future Hungarian cops are learning chemistry at their academy and they are asked by the lecturer who is testing their intelligence: "Tell me a transparent metal!"

Quickly, one of them jumps up and says: "Barbed wire fence!"
