All this reminds me of an ethnic joke guaranteed to offend almost everyone:
In heaven:
the French are the cooks,
the Italians are the lovers
the British are the police
the Germans run the businesses
the Irish write the poetry
the Russians make the Vodka
the Swiss run the trains
and the Americans are not allowed in.
In hell:
the French run the trains
the Italians run the police
the British make the Vodka
the Germans write the poetry
the Irish run the businesses
the Russians run the government
the Swiss are the lovers
and the place is over-run with Americans
This was told to me by a Swiss, BTW. My own heritage is Swiss, Cherokee, and Welsh. How's that for a mutt? I think my upbringing by a Swiss mother would have impacted me, but my Cherokee bloodline canceled it out.
