Englishuser The reference was not to today's Albania but the Albania of the 1980s when a Communist regime ruled the country. All people understandably take pride in their country, and Albanians are not an exception. However, people living in the iron-curtain countries in the days of Socialism were not proud of their single-party system, which had been forced upon them. Consider how quick they were to reject it when given a chance. It is a fact that the very inhabitants of these countries cracked some of the best jokes about their social system and the bureaucracy it entailed. Cheers CB Cool Breeze Jokes
