Funnily enough, they were going on about our love-hate relationship with the French on the radio this morning...with the same kind of jokes!

So.....why do people take an instant dislike to the French...?

Because it saves time!

well, sheesh....here's a norwegian joke i got from a swede:
*ahem*
one day, mrs. larson called up her preacher, father jens, because of skunk problems.
he recommended throwing a pound of lutefisk under the porch to drive them out.
she called a week later to get help with all the norwegians swarming the lutefisk.
i know, kinda lame...
uff da!

Then there was the French academic who was heard to say "What you propose may very well be true in practice- but I doubt very much as to whether it is, in fact, true in theory."
