Quote of the Day: On Venezuela

Employing the dark humor communist countries, or communist countries in the making, are famous for (HT Babalublog):

A German, a Frenchman, an Englishman and a Venezuelan were together in the Louvre, viewing a painting of Adam and Eve in Paradise.

The German said: Look at the perfection of the bodies: She is svelte and shapely, he’s got an athletic body, his muscles are perfect. … They must be Germans.

Immediately, the Frenchman reacted: I don’t think so. It’s clear that eroticism emanates from these figures…She is so feminine, he is so masculine…We know that they will be tempted quickly…They must be French.

Shaking his head, the Englishman commented: Not at all. I don’t think either of you have gotten it…The serenity of their faces, the delicacy of the pose, the sobriety of their gestures. They could only be English.

Then after a few seconds more of contemplation, the Venezuelan exclaimed: You all have it wrong. Look carefully: They don’t have clothes, they don’t have shoes, they don’t have a home, they only have a miserable apple to eat, and still they think, to us pendejos, that they are in paradise. They could only be Chavistas!
