European Identities

This was posted at one of the Yahoo photo-groups I belong to, I thought it was pretty funny. Credited to musician Richard Thompson, twixt-song banter at a concert.

In heaven:
The English meet you at the door,
The French do the cooking,
The Italians provide the entertainment,
And the Germans organize everything.

In hell:
The French meet you at the door,
The English do the cooking,
The Germans provide the entertainment,
And the Italians organize everything.

Those are sterotypes at their best. Quite funny.

In my heaven, can the Italians do the cooking?

The version I heard was, in Heaven

The police are English
The mechanics German
The cooks are French,
The lovers Italian
and its all organized and run by the Swiss.
