I meant God-based humor. Everybody does politics. You just don't get "Mohammad was golfing with..." or "Allah said ' I sent that rowboat' jokes. Rats multiply in the Kremlin and the Soviet dictator Brezhnev asks for help. The rat killer specialist comes. He takes out a mechanical rat, pushes a button on it and it starts dancing around and runs out the gate and jumps into the river. The other rats go crazy, follow him and all jump into the water. Brezhnev is satisfied and says: "Hey, komrade, couldn't you make a little mechanical American too?" An archaeologist finds a mummy in Egypt. An international debate starts over how old it could be... Nobody knows, so the mummy is brought to various countries for analysis by different experts... It is brought to the USA first, the US specialists say, it is 3.000 years old. Then, the Japanese, precise as usually, find that it is 2.953 years old. The Russians come with the final result: "The mummy is 2.953 years, 5 months, 2 weeks and 4 days old". Journalists curiously ask how they found this out, the Russians reply: "The mummy was taken to the KGB and he confessed under torture" coldwarjokes.com - Three men sit in a jail in (KGB headquarters) Dzerzhinsky Square. The first asks the second why he has been imprisoned, and he says, "Because I criticized Karl Radek." The first man responds, "But I am here because I spoke out in favor of Radek!" They turn to the third man who has been sitting quietly in the back, and ask him why he is in jail too. He responds, "I'm Karl Radek." Armenian Radio was asked: "Is it true that conditions in our labor camps are excellent?" Armenian Radio answers: "It is true. Five years ago a listener of ours raised the same question and was sent to one, reportedly to investigate the issue. He hasn't returned yet; we are told he liked it there." "Comrade Brezhnev, is it true that you collect political jokes?" — "Yes" — "And how many have you collected so far?" — "Three and a half labor camps." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_political_jokes#Gulag
