    A young Aussie on his first night in Rome, was enjoying a cappuccino at a sidewalk cafe when a pretty girl sat beside him. "Hi, there," he said, "do you understand English?" "Jus' a little," she answered. "How much?" She smiled. "A hundred dollars!" :-\

                  I missed the part where the Aussie met a French prostitute in Rome. Or is Italy so broke that it sold Rome to France? I'm a little behind in world events.

                    Italy, France, what's the difference? It's all Johnny-foreigners who don't wash their hands after using the toilet, and the sewers probably stink as well! ;P

                                  I currently work with the Italian team, one of the Customer Service lassies was complaining about Rome and her people, and how she (a Turinese) is from the REAL capital of Italy. "I didn't realise you were from Berlin!" I quipped. Stony silence.

                                        Sort of a cross between Lawrence of Arabia and Dilbert.[^]

                                        A Dead ringer for Kate Winslett[^]
