I found this amusing.I then wondered whether I would have found it amusing if my country had been mentioned.Any comments?

On a group of beautiful deserted islands in the middle of nowhere, the following people are suddenly stranded by, as you might expect, a shipwreck:
2 Italian men and 1 Italian woman
2 French men and 1 French woman
2 German men and 1 German woman
2 Greek men and 1 Greek woman
2 English men and 1 English woman
2 Bulgarian men and 1 Bulgarian woman
2 Japanese men and 1 Japanese woman
2 Chinese men and 1 Chinese woman
2 American men and 1 American woman
2 Irish men and 1 Irish woman
One month later on these same absolutely stunning deserted islands in the middle of nowhere, the following things have occurred:
- One Italian man killed the other Italian man for the Italian 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 alternating visits with the German woman.
- The two Greek men are sleeping with each other and the Greek woman is cleaning and cooking for them.
- The two English men are waiting for someone to introduce them to the English woman.
- The two Bulgarian men took one long look at the endless ocean, and another long look at the Bulgarian woman, and started swimming.
- The two Japanese men have faxed Tokyo and are awaiting instructions.
- The two Chinese men have set up a pharmacy, a liquor store, a restaurant and a laundry, and have got the woman pregnant in order to supply employees for their stores.
- The two American men are contemplating the virtues of suicide because the American woman keeps endlessly complaining about her body; the true nature of feminism; how she can do everything they can do; the necessity of fulfilment; the equal division of household chores; how sand and palm trees make her look fat; how her last boyfriend respected her opinion and treated her nicer than they do; how her relationship with her mother is improving and how at least the taxes are low and it isn’t raining.
- The two Irish men have divided the island into North and South and set up a distillery. They do not remember if sex is in the picture because it gets sort of foggy after the first few litres of coconut whisky. But they’re satisfied because at least the English aren’t having any fun.

It is quite amusing.

Tell us what country you're from and we'll add another line to the joke.

How about: The three of them are try to communicate but can't find a common language between them. Frustrated, the men decide to take "sanyas" (reclusion from domestic life) and the woman lives happily ever after...

Or, for India...


All three of them are too busy manning a call centre to be able to consider a life.

I suppose the Dutch would set up a TV talkshow in an attempt to find a fourth person do join them when they go to the partner-exchange club.

The two Canadian men would use a coconut and palm fronds to play ball-hockey and the woman would sit in the "bleachers" (a sunny spot where her hair would get sun-bleached perhaps?) lol

I suppose both Polish men would build a kitchen for the women and then swim to the next island in the west looking for new jobs and income :P

I guess none of them were smart enough to use the Japanese's fax machine and send a request for help!!

:P

Come on, Al, the Canadian woman would be the goalie. And when they're not playing, they'll be owning the Tim Horton's (of course, they may hire someone else to run it so they can play hockey).

And the last thing they would do is call/fax for help. 25C in November? Why would a Canadian want to be rescued?
