Reminds me of this Cold War joke:
It's a quiet morning, just before dawn, at Checkpoint Charlie, the guard station on the West Berlin side of the infamous wall. The American guards are drinking coffee and relaxing, when suddenly they hear an ruckus from the East German side of the border.
A megaphone orders someone to "HALT!" and alarms start to ring; The searchlights in the guard towers light up, and swing around to spotlight a rabbit, who has jumped the first fence, and is now fleeing towards the main wall, swerving to evade the machine gun fire. The rabbit crawls under a roll of barbed wire, dashes across a minefield, narrowly avoiding death from an exploding landmine. He scrambles over the wall using an improvised ladder, and races across the killing ground, pursued by bullet strikes that gouge holes in the roadway, before finally making it to safety - collapsing, exhausted, scratched, and bleeding, on the West Berlin side of the line.
The Americans hurry to his assistance, and the duty officer has him taken to the first aid room. While the nurse is tending to his wounds, he asks "What made you decide to risk everything, to escape from East Germany in such a reckless way?"
The rabbit replies "I heard this morning that foxes are to be outlawed by the Communist government".
The officer is baffled by this. "Surely you should be happy at that news; You are, after all, a rabbit, and not a fox".
"Well, yes I am", says the rabbit, with a manic gleam in his eye, "but can I prove it??"
