Historical jokes

This is a joke made by the Dada movement. Originally I thought it was just about an annoying customer... but meanwhile I wonder, whether they wanted to make a statement about the absurdity of WW1. Like field marshal Haig ordering attacks against well-trenched Germans to be able to move his drink cabinet a few inches closer to Berlin, no arguing allowed, and all that.

But now to the joke:

Customer in a coffeehouse: "I want a cup of coffee and a donut!"

Waiter: "Coffee's no problem, but we're out of donuts!"

Customer: "Then I want a cup of tea and a donut!"

Waiter: "But I just told you that we're out of donuts!"

Customer: "Then I want a cup of chocolate and a donut!"

Waiter: "Aren't you listening? We don't have any donuts!"

Customer: "If you want to make trouble, just sell me a donut, and I'll drink my coffee at home!"

As mentioned, I also like to research how some jokes were censored with time. This one is also an example, I even found it (similarly) in a German Sesame Street comic.

A customer in a restaurant orders a cheese omelet, with two eggs. The waiter passes the order to the kitchen, but they're out of eggs and it's too late to buy new ones. So the waiter returns: "Sorry, we can't make your cheese omelet, would you like something else?"

Customer: "OK, then I'd like a ham omelet."

Waiter: "Sorry, that's not possible either."

Customer: "Then what about a mushroom omelet?"

Waiter: "No!"

Customer: "Or an omelet with potatoes?"

Waiter: "No, you see - we can't make any omelet at all! Do you understand?"

Customer: "Oh well, then just cook me two eggs!"

Upcoming American lost cause joke on reconstructionist and Civil War joke.

Oh, Kentucky didn’t wait till after the Civil War to join the confederacy . (Kentucky became much more pro confederate after the Civil War than during the war between the states punandjokes.com/civil-war-jokes/

Not a joke but something that fits here:

Once, Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir met with President Richard Nixon, he told her that he would trade any three American generals for Israeli General Moshe Dayan. “OK,” she said, “I’ll take General Motors, General Electric and General Dynamics.”

Nazi Germany. A mother tries to teach her little kid how to do the nazi salute.

Then, the kid asks: "What does the führer say when he's alone? 'Heil me!'?"

Indeed it is. It'll take at least decades more until the former East Germany will be as rich as the west, as things look like.
