Zizek did not tell this story in Sri Lanka

A female teacher went for a coffee latte. Barista told her "Sorry madam, we don't have coffee latte. I can give you a coffee without milk. We don't have milk powder”

But teacher was adamant she wants coffee with powder milk.

"I will bring it to you. Where I can buy it" She asked the barista. 

 

"The shop across the road sells milk powder. But they don't have it." Barista replied.

 

"I am a teacher. I am so tired teaching online since the morning. Can you please give me a coffee without milk then? Anyway, where I can buy a gas cylinder." teacher asked.

 

"The shop next to the shop selling milk powder sells gas cylinders. But they don't sell gas to the teachers. " Barista says.

 

"Why is that? Isn't it illegal!" Angry teacher asked.

 

"Not at all madam, they don't have gas." barista laughed.

 

When the teacher finished her coffee, another teacher called Mr A. Lover took her to a "One night stand in Australia" hotel.

 

The receptionist at the hotel told them there are no rooms because the hotel is surrounded by the ministerial security division.

 

"Why on earth is that" They both screamed together.

 

"Mr Raheliya Kembukwella is practising polygamy" Receptionist replied.

 

When the T- shirts clad CID officials heard that,  they immediately arrested the receptionist and bundled her to an official three wheeler to take her to the police station,  for the grave crime of disclosing a government secret.

There is a wonderfully dialectical joke in Ernst Lubitsch’s classic comedy Ninotchka: the hero visits a cafeteria and orders coffee without cream; the waiter replies: “I’m sorry, sir, we have no cream. Can it be without milk?” In both cases, the customer gets coffee alone, but this single coffee is each time accompanied by a different negation, first coffee-with-no-cream, then coffee-with-no-milk.

“It's not the same thing: coffee without cream or coffee without milk.
What you don't get is part of the identity of what you get.”

Soviet Joke-

"A man walks into a shop. He asks the clerk, "You don't have any meat?" The clerk says, "No, here we don't have any fish. The shop that doesn't have any meat is across the street."
