(Just for the record, this joke I believe is from Arabic and is supposed to portray a certain nation, but I've modified it a little)
He tells his advisers to set up a roadblock in the entrance of the capital to see if anyone speaks up. Nobody does.
After a while, he orders his advisers to start doing ID checks while the roadblocks are set up, yet he hears no complaints.
The tyrant, somewhat amused and frustrated, orders his advisers to ticket the people coming in and going out, and even still there are no complaints.
Out of spite, he tells his advisers to order the guards at the checkpoints to slap people on the face then ticket them as they enter and leave the city. The entrance and exit roads are always congested, then one day one man goes ballistic.
The tyrant summons the angry man before him and asks him what the problem is. The man says: "Please, for god's sake at least put two guards at a time so they can slap us faster and reduce the waiting time!"
