My Bangladeshi friend sent me the following joke, which actually made me laugh a little. Although Bangladesh is widely recognized as one of the most corrupt countries in the world, it is good to see that its citizens are able to joke about it:
"A Bangladeshi dies and goes to hell. There he finds that there is a different hell for each country.
He goes first to the German hell and asks, "What do they do here?" He is told, "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day."
Then he goes in and out of the USA hell then the Russian hell and Australian hell as well as many more. He discovers that they are all more or less the same as the German hell.
Finally he goes to the Bangladeshi hell and saw a lot of people waiting to get in. Amazed he asks, "What do they do here?" He is told, "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the Bangladeshi devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day."
"But that is exactly the same as all the other hells - why are there so many people waiting to get in?"
Because maintenance is so bad that the electric chair does not work, someone has stolen all the nails from the bed, and the devil is a former Government servant, so he comes in, signs the register and then goes to the canteen for tea break".
