1. Oui, I am French! I stink, I eat baguettes and I don’t know about the bidet!

2. I am an Englishman. I take afternoon tea at 5 o’ clock, I drive on the opposite side and I always dress in an elegant way.

3. I am Italian. I always eat pizza, I scream and move my hands when I talk, I work and like all Italian people I am a mafioso (except people from Venice: they go on the gondola!)

4. I am Swiss. I am always on time and if you are late I eat chocolate. Like every Swiss person I work in a bank.

5. I am Russian, I drink vodka and wear huge hairy hats, during summer too.

6. I am American. I eat every day at the fast food place, I don’t read books and I just watch movies with a lot of special effects.

7. I am Chinese, I only eat rice and I seem like all  other Chinese people.

8. I am a Jew. I am a loan shark like every other Jew, I always dress in black, I have a big nose, a long beard and wear a Rabbi hat.

9. Who came up with all these foolish things?

10. Someone really foolish!
