Venezuelans Humor

[Plane]

A genie appears from a lamp in the hands of an astonished Venezuelan boy to declare: "You can ask for anything - except toilet paper!"


The world's highest inflation and shortages of basics from milk to toilet roll are really no laughing matter for Venezuelans, but they find solace in a thriving comedy scene lampooning the governance behind the economic strife.

Cuba is out of salt.

An island, surrounded by a salty ocean and constant sunshine, and yet there is no more salt in stores.

In The Dominican Republic, Dominican salt in a plastic bottle costs a fifth as much as US made salt in the usual round paper box, and yet the latter is still on the shelves.
