Re: [Cz-L] Old ethnic joke.

It was not only a matter of obstructing free flow for pedestrians, the
regime often was cautious that some groups might disturb order for
political reasons.

When in the early twenties the same policeman approached three
youngsters and ordered them:
"Gehn Sie auseirnander". Meaning: go, apart one from another!.
The response came immediately:
Gehn Sie selber auseinander! Meaning something like explode yourself!
