Man: Yo girl, on a scale of 1 to America, how free are you tonight?
Girl: Germany 1942.
The joke is a play on the flirtatious question that uses “America” as the highest measure of freedom, alluding to the United States’ cultural emphasis on liberty. The humorous twist comes with the reply “Germany 1942,” which refers to a period when Germany was under totalitarian Nazi rule, thus suggesting “not free at all.” The joke’s punchline contrasts the expected affirmative answer that would indicate availability with a historical reference to a time and place noted for its extreme oppression, thus indicating the girl is not available.
