*What happens when a fly falls into a coffee cup?*
The Italian - throws the cup and walks away in a fit of rage
The Frenchman - takes out the fly, and drinks the coffee
The Chinese - eats the fly and throws away the coffee
The Russian - drinks the coffee with the fly, since it was extra with no
charge
The Israeli - sells the coffee to the Frenchman, the fly to the Chinese,
buys himself a new cup of coffee and uses the extra money to invent a device
that prevents flies from falling into coffee.
The Palestinian - blames the Israeli for the fly falling into his coffee,
protests the act of aggression to the UN, takes a loan from the European
Union for a new cup of coffee, uses the money to purchase explosives and
then blows up the coffee house where the Italian, the Frenchman, the Chinese
and the Russian are trying to explain to the Israeli why he should give away
his cup of coffee to the Palestinian.
