He quickly replied, "No. After getting to know the senators, I pray for the people."

Doctor: "You have a highly contagious disease. You must go into isolation, and you'll have to eat only pancakes and pizza."
Patient: "Will pancakes and pizza cure the disease?"
Doctor: "No, but we can't slip anything else under the door."

A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral. A huge heart covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service. Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside. The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever.
At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter. When all eyes stared at him, he said, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking of my own funeral... I'm a gynecologist."
That's when the proctologist fainted.

How many EU electricians does it take to change a light bulb?
If German, one.
If British, four; one to take the bulb out and replace it, one to advise when the bulb is cool enough to hold, one to hold the ladder and one to write the Health and Safety risk assessment.
If Spanish, eighteeen; the first four as the British require, the other fourteen would be British electricians on holiday in Spain, shaking their heads in disapproval at the state of the Spanish wiring system in the place where the bulb has blown.
If French, six. We've always done it with that number, and that's the way the European Union decrees to be correct.
If Italian, none. We don't really need the light, and anyway we are enjoying our long lunch-break too much to break off just now.

It is noteworthy that President Chirac managed a whole G8 summit without complaining about British food. The Telegraph reports that:
"M. Chirac and his fellow-summiteers tucked into smoked salmon with roasted langoustines and herb salad, followed by a main course of roast fillet of Glenearn lamb with broad beans and peas, aubergine caviar and Parmesan polenta. To finish there was a pudding called "textures of chocolate"."
They then got down to the agenda, which was world hunger.

How is our potato crop?
Comrade, if you piled up our potatoes it would make a small mountain reaching to the very feet of God.
Comrade, this is a Socialist country; we know there is no God.
That's fine comrade, since there aren't any potatoes either.

Never criticize a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes. That way you are a mile away when you voice your criticism. And you have his shoes.
