He Who Laughs Last didn't get it
Eternal traitor: human scum who smiled insincerely and then didn't laugh at the Splendiferous Leader’s joke.
In a monastery the jokes had been told over and over again for so long that they were numbered and published in a booklet, a copy given to each monk. Each day after the noon meal, the abbot would stand and call out numbers of various jokes and the brothers would laugh. On one occasion the abbot called out "one thirty seven" and a particular brother was convulsed in laughter that went on and on. A guest asked what that was all about. His host explained, "He hadn't heard that one before."
Tritely deja vu all over again for anyone who grew up during the Stalin era of paranoid suspicion, fear and murderous intrigue in the Kremlin: in North Korea, the repulsive toad with the bad haircut has his uncle executed for treason amid classically comic communist party denunciations. I can't wait to hear the punch line.
