Default Way off topic, but it has do to with the French

Which part of "America?" Iowa? Iowa City? Where?

Those of us from New York (that's that big city on the East Coast
that's still part of America) have heard jokes made about and told on
every race, creed, color, and shape of mankind.


Allow me to rephrase that, please. Although there are jokes about EVERY
ethnic group, the types of jokes we hear about Italians (and just about
everyone else) are far different in tone from those told about the French.

True, the Italians were pathetically clumsy in WWII. It's interesting
to
note that despite this performance there are few in America who make
"Italian jokes" the way we poke fun at the French.

It's how you knew you'd arrived.
