How Many Basijis Does It Take To Change A Lightbulb?

…Here are a few of the Basij jokes that are making the rounds:
A Basij member is asked: “Who is God? He responds: “The representative of Iran’s Supreme Leader in heaven.”
A Basij member is taking part in a Koran reading contest. When he gets to the sura (a chapter of the Koran) of “bani Israel” (the children of Israel), he quits. (The joke refers to the fact that the Islamic Republic of Iran does not recognize Israel.)
A Basij member is asked what will happen when the hidden Imam reappears (a messianic figure in Shi’ite doctrine.) He responds: “All will do well, people will care about each other, the killings will end, it will be like the time of the Shah.” (Many Iranians are nostalgic about the era of the Shah and the era before the 1979 revolution.)
How do you torture a Basij member? You tie him down and tell him they’re distributing Sandis (a juice brand) over there. (Food and drinks, including Sandis juices, were reportedly distributed at some progovernment demonstrations, prompting some oppositionists to say participants only came for the refreshments.)
