An economist is back in his old college town many years after
graduation and decides to drop in on one of his old professors.
He happens to see a copy of an exam sitting on the desk so he
picks it up to look at it. Upon deciding that it looks familiar he
comments to the professor that it is the same exam that he had
taken 10 years ago. The professor assures him that this is
correct but adds that this time the answers are different. 

This is a true story. My sister and I spent two weeks in Paris. The locals 
obviously hated Americans -- no matter where we went, we were subject to 
rude behavior from waiters, store clerks, pedestrians, etc. After a while 
it started to irritate us. 

One day, in Paris, my sister went shopping. She entered a store and 
started looking around. She was the only customer in the store. As she was 
looking through the clothes on the rack, a clerk hurriedly approached her 
and very abruptly asked if he could help her. 

My sister was used to this bad treatment by now and she politely declined 
his help. She continued to look at the clothes. Then she noticed that 
every clerk in the store was staring at her. 

Defiantly, she continued to look through the clothes. When she could take 
this treatment no longer, she turned on her heels, with her head held 
high, and left the shop. 

As she left, she noticed that the sign on the store read...."DryCleaners."

A survey by cosmetics firm Avon revealed that British women 
would rather iron than have sex in the morning.  I've visited 
Britain, and I've got an even better idea for British men and 
women: how about *brushing your teeth* in the morning?
