I am indebted to my virtual friend lesle for a link to a fascinating article in the New York Times which I somehow missed. The article includes this lovely joke:
“The Frenchman says: ‘I’m tired and thirsty. I must have wine.’ The German says: ‘I’m tired and thirsty. I must have beer.’ The Jew says: ‘I’m tired and thirsty. I must have diabetes.’ ”
Blogger has been "down" for the last couple of days and I'm afraid that lesle's original comment has been lost to posterity, but I have been able to track down the article to which he referred. Here is the reference:
