Just heard this joke from a Dutch relative

InsaneBane · 09-26-2003, 06:06 AM

Three men flew in an aero plane: An Italian, a Frenchman and a Dutchman. Suddenly the Italian rolled down the window and put his arm outside. After a while he retrieved his hand and waved it in front of the others: "Ahh - we just passed Rome - I smell Pizza".

After a while it was the Frenchman's turn to roll down the window, put his arm outside and smell: "Ahh - We just passed Paris - I smell parfume".

Then at last the turn had come to the Dutchman. He rolled down the window and put his arm outside. After a while he retrieved his hand and waved it in front of the others: Ahh - We just passed Amsterdam.

The others looked puzzled, because they didn't smell anything. The Italian said: "How do you know that - we can't smell anything"

The Dutchman: "You see - I just lost my wrist watch"

I guess the joke is trying to say theft/pickpocketing in Amsterdam is so bad, they manage to steal your watch from your wrist even as you fly over the city. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

International stereotypes are strange animals indeed.

I think that if Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, and Krishna combined all of their superpowers in a huge psycho-kenetic whirlpool of MIRACLE they still couldn't resurrect your sense of humour Skunk [img]tongue.gif[/img]
