A dinner party of different nationalities had arrived at a restaurant. They each ordered a glass of wine, but when the wine arrived they noticed that each of the glasses had a fly in it.
* The Swede demanded to have new wine in the same glass.
* The Englishman demanded to have new wine in a new glass.
* The Finn picked the fly out of the wine and drank the wine.
* The Russian drank the wine, fly and all.
* The Chinese ate the fly but left the wine.
* The jew caught the fly and sold it to the Chinese.
* The Roman drank two thirds of the wine and then demanded to have new wine.
* The Norwegian took the fly and went off to fish for cod.
* The Irishman ground the fly and mixed it in the wine, which he then donated to the Englishman.
* The American sued the restaurant and claimed for a 65 million dollar compensation for mental suffering.
* The Scotsman grabbed the fly by the throat and roared: 'Now spit out all that you swallowed!!'
* The Ostrobothnian claimed it was an evil democrat scheme and gave the waiter a nasty stab with his knife. He also refused to drink the wine, as this is women's business and wondered loudly what is keeping the vodka he ordered.
