All of this talk about complaining reminds of the old joke about a man from Eastern Germany who had applied for permission to emigrate to Western Germany. He was interviewed by a government official who couldn’t quite understand why he would want to move.
“Why exactly do you want to move to the west. You have a nice appartment…”
“I can’t complain.”
“And you finally received that car you’ve been applying for.”
“I can’t complain.”
“And you have a nice job at the shoe factory.”
“I can’t complain.”
“So why do you want to move to the west?”
“Because there I can complain.”
