‘Early in the morning, Honecker arrives at his office and opens his window. He sees the sun and says: “Good morning, dear Sun!” The sun replies: “Good morning, dear Erich!” Honecker works, and then at noon he heads to the window and says: “Good day, dear Sun!” The sun replies: “Good day, dear Erich!” In the evening, Erich calls it a day, and heads once more to the window, and says: “Good evening, dear Sun!” The sun is silent. Honecker says again: “Good evening, dear Sun! What’s the matter?” The sun replies: “Kiss my arse. I’m in the West now.”’
