More than 40 years on, this joke still lands.
It circulated among Argentine exiles in Spain during the years of Argentina’s last military dictatorship (1976-1983). Its protagonists are two such exiles who meet at a party in Madrid. One of them — let’s call him X — spots his friend Z in the company of a stunning Spanish woman. Z appears hopelessly in love. Days later, X and Z cross paths again. Unable to resist the urge, X offers a compliment, “That woman you were with — she was beautiful.”
Blushing, Z agrees: “Yes, she’s beautiful. Wonderful.”
Sensing a moment of intimacy, X presses further: “Are you in love?”
“To the marrow,” Z replies.
“Are you going to marry her?” X asks.
“Marry a Spaniard? Absolutely not,” Z declares, suddenly unblushing.
X recoils. “That sounds racist.”
“No, no,” Z insists. “Spanish women are amazing.”
“Then what’s the problem?” X asks, now thoroughly intrigued.
Z sighs. “The problem is that if you marry one, at some point — inevitably — they’ll ask the fatal question.”
“What question?”
Mimicking the Spanish accent, Z says: “Oye, tío … Can you explain what the hell Peronism is?”

The man that drives the engine. Why, the smoke alone is worth a thousand pounds a puff!

I had a talk with my German friend and later with the Bulgarian one, so:
1. German guy states that the demand for the both, high skilled and low skilled workers are high now in Germany.
2. He also states that 30% of the current workforce will be retired within 10 years.
3. Germany still provides decent payments and life quality.
At the same time Bulgarian states:
1. Money doesn’t worth much anymore. Purchase parties is low these days.
2. Having degree (3-7 years) doesn’t worth its time.
3. Retirement system in Germany will collapse.
So? How did it happen?
