A Greek and Italian were sitting in a Starbuck's one day discussing who had the superior culture.
Over triple lattes, the Greek guy says, "well, we have the Parthenon."
Arching his eyebrows, the Italian replies, "we have the Coliseum."
The Greek retorts, "we Greeks gave birth to advanced mathematics - and international finance too."
The Italian, nodding agreement, says, "but we built the Roman Empire and how to go seriously into debt."
And so on and so on until the Greek comes up with what he thinks will end the discussion. With a flourish of finality he says, "we invented sex!"
The Italian thinks for a couple of seconds and replies quietly, "that is true, but it was the Italians who introduced it to Angela Merkel!"
