For those of you who don't already know, I arrived in Eastern Europe as a Peace Corps Volunteer in 1991 -- officially two years after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
In Bulgaria at the time, it was still largely the leftovers of the communist system -- which is still taking a long time to change, by the way.
But back then, it was a different world. Jokes were as puerile and as far from politically correct as you can imagine.
Even I, a product of the American higher educational system, was extremely offended when I first arrived.
Nevertheless, there are a few Balkan gems that need to be passed on, and this is a TRIGGER WARNING: they are still offensive!
I'm going to start with a few Bulgarian examples, so as not to shock any readers from the very start.
So, without further ado, the next is an aphorism I learned in the early '90s:
Fish, chicken, and women ...
Aha!
I tricked you.
I didn't tell you the punchline.
Can you guess what it is???
Answers in the comments, please!
P.S. You Bulgarians are cheating if you answer!

Good guess!
Even if I want I can't cheat caus I don't know the answer. 😃 Maybe the reason is that in the '90s I was still an infant. 😂But I am excited to learn what is it.
I'll let you take a guess then :)
I only got one guess so far, from a Bulgarian over discord. It is very close: You can touch them with your hands. If anyone needs a better clue, please ask!
