Back to my favorite stereotype ever.

Heaven: The police are all British, the mechanics are all German, the chefs are all Italian, the lovers are all French and everything is run by the Swiss.

Hell: The police are all German, the mechanics are all French, the chefs are all British, the lovers are all Swiss and everything's run by the Italians.

I'll just update the stereotype. The Germans pay for everything now.

While we're obviously cracking jokes:

You may pay for the profits of our banksters and corporations.
While the inflation is relatively low, we are the only country in Europe where the real wages went down in the last decade, the worst development of all countries in the EU: http://www.eu-info.de/deutsche-europ...land/reallohn/ - in German only

Much more like american stereotypes of the european, possibly.
The united states of America seen from here (you don't need subtitles, dialogues are nothing but pure ****) :

Much more accurate in my opinion.
