I hope I'm not offending anyone with this (Do we have any Greek members ?). But I found some "Greek jokes" in our paper today and I'd like to share some with you:
A Greek, a Portuguese and an Irishman order something from the bar.
Q: Who pays the bill ?
A: the German

There's a meeting between the Austrian Prime Minister and Papandreou (The Greek PM, for those who never hear any news  ). Papandreou introduces his cabinet: the minister for Justice, the minister for Employment, the minister for Health-Care, the minister for Education and the minister for Economy. Then the Austrian PM introduces his cabinet the minister for Justice, the minister for Employment, the minister Health and the minister for Shipping. Papandreou smiles and asks: "A minister for Shipping ? But you don't have a sea ?". The Austrian PM answers: Did I smile when you introduced your ministers for Justice, Employment, Health-Care, Education and Economy ? |

Not entirely in line with the thread title, but I received this today:
The Israeli Ambassador at the U.N. began, "Ladies and gentlemen before I commence with my speech, I want to relay an old Passover story.
"When Moses was leading the Jews out of Egypt toward the Promised Land, he had to go through the nearly endless Sinai desert.
"When they reached the Promised Land, the people had become very thirsty and needed water. So Moses struck the side of a mountain with his staff and a pond appeared with crystal clean, cool water. The people rejoiced and drank to their hearts' content.
"Moses put down his staff and went to a solitary corner of the pond to drink, and meditate in prayer. But once Moses returned, he found that his staff had been stolen.
"I have reason to believe ladies and gentlemen that the Palestinians stole the staff of our great Prophet Moses.'"
The Palestinian delegate to the UN, hearing this accusation, jumps from his seat and screams out, "This is a travesty. It is widely known that there were no such thing as 'Palestinians' at that time!"
"And with that in mind," said the Israeli Ambassador, "let me now begin my speech."
