Well, I honestly love this joke. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do:"There is a beautiful deserted island in the middle of nowhere and the following people are stranded:
2 men and 1 woman for each of the following nations: Italy, France, Germany, Greece, England, Poland, Japan, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Russia.
The first Italian man has killed the other Italian man for the woman.
The two French men and the French woman are living happily together in a "menage a trois".
The two German men have a strict weekly schedule of when they alternatewith the German woman.
The two Greek men are sleeping with each other and the Greek woman is cooking and cleaning for them.
The two Englishmen are waiting for someone to introduce them to the English woman.
The Polish men took a long look at the endless ocean, one look at the Polish woman, and started swimming.
The two Japanese men have faxed Tokyo and are waiting for instructions.
The two American men are contemplating the virtues of suicide, whilethe American woman keeps on bitching about her body being her own, the true nature of feminism, how she can do everything that they can do,about the necessity of fulfilment, the equal division of householdchores, how her last boyfriend respected her opinion and treated hermuch nicer and how her relationship with her mother is improving. But at least the taxes here are low and it is not raining.
The two Australian men beat each other senseless fighting over theAustralian woman, who is checking out all the other men, after calling them both "bloody wankers".
Both New Zealand men are searching the island for sheep.
The two Irishmen began by dividing their island Northside-Southside andsetting up a distillery. They don't remember if sex is in the picture because it gets sort of foggy after the first few litres of coconut-whiskey, but at least they know the English aren't getting any.
The first Russian man married the Russian woman and divorced her. He is the best customer of the Irish distillery.
The other Russian man made money by killing the Italian and arranging exit visas for the Poles. With that money he acquired a controlling 33.4% stake in the Irish distillery including the worldwide distribution rights to the English and he hired the Greeks as salesagents. He employs both Germans as bodyguards (for himself and his Russian girlfriend) and has promised the Polish woman that she canbecome the maid of their first child. He regularly sees the American woman "to learn English".
In the meantime, the French still think they're alone on the island."
Believe it or not Torino has the 2nd largest museum of Egypt history and artifacts in the world. From what I know the Savoy dynasty have been quite fond of Egyptian culture and collected all sorts of artifacts and manuscripts during the colonial days of Italy. I was quite surprised when a friend told me that for a very long time Torino has been a centre of ocult sciences and dark magic - come to think of it, it doesn't really look like a coincidence me coming here :)
The museum was truly enjoyable - quite amazing to know that people had such an advanced civilization 4 000 years ago - anciant Egyptians were terrific at such things as architecture, building monument and pyramids, agriculture, cosmectics and ripping your intestines while you are still alive as well as many other wonders of modern civilization. AMAZING!
I was quite surpised to find out that the Macchiaioli precede the French Impressionists (probably it's the overwhelming French desire to be the first in everything) and that their art stretches from natural landscapes and rural scenes (I hope you are fond of cows) to urban places and exploration of social issues.
