Post Cold War Joke - Berlin?

A man goes into a police station in East Berlin, and asks the officer for a pass to go to the West.

'You don't need one any more,' replies the officer, 'the wall's come down. Just walk across.'

The man leaves. Half an hour later he is back.

'I want a pass to go to the West.'

'I told you just now,' replies the officer, you don't need one any more. The wall has come down.'

The man leaves again. Half an hour later he is back again.

'I want a pass to go to the West.'

'Look,' says the officer, his temper by now beginning to get a bit frayed, 'this is the third time you've asked this in an hour, and I'm telling you for the last time, the wall has gone, you don't need a pass, just walk across.'

'I know that', replies the man.

'Then what's the problem?'

'It's just that I can't hear it often enough'.
