Honecker goes outside in disguise

 Erich Honecker, President of East Germany, feels concerned that the people don't like him. So, he puts on a disguise and goes onto the streets of East Berlin.

He approaches a man on a street corner and asks, "What do you think about Honecker?"

The man looks around nervously and replies, "I can't say it out in the open, others might hear me! Follow me down that alleyway."

Honecker follows the man, until they feel that they're far enough away from any eavesdroppers.

At last, the man leans over and whispers, "I support Honecker!"

Variants on this joke exist for just about every Eastern Bloc leader, but ragging on Honecker is always the funniest.
