Sorry if this joke sounded like weird for Americans:cool::rolleyes: There was irony in it, maybe far-fetched

:banghead: But this part is for cultural differences, no?

Can you explain it?

This is a good joke, based on what certain people tend to do best. Very understandable for those of us who have been around the block a few times. :rolleyes:

Jessica November 03, 2008 02:59 PM

I still don't understand it...!

Rusty November 03, 2008 03:28 PM

French cooks - touted as world class!
German-made automobiles - top notch!
etc.

Now imagine a famous chef assigned to make your new car or an excellent mechanic put in the kitchen of your favorite eatery. Does this help any?

oh I got it now.
