Library time.

Apr 24, 2009 22:32

[Arthur's in the library, browsing the shelves. He isn't really looking for anything. But it's quiet here; thank God for that. He picks out a book of Charles Dickens' and settles down in a nearby alcove, heedless of his dangling feet. All he needs now is a nice cup of tea for complete relaxation.

He opens the book, and a small slip of paper falls onto his lap. It reads:

In heaven:
  • The English are the police
  • The Germans are the mechanics
  • The Swiss are the administrators
  • The French are the lovers
  • The Italians are the cooks

In hell:
  • The English are the cooks
  • The French are the mechanics

  • The Swiss are the lovers
  • The Italians are the administrators
  • The Germans are the police


Once he got to the bit about English cooks, he swore at the piece of paper.]

Damn you!

[edit, ooc: canhasbear inspired the idea behind this post. (Hullo! :);; ) Also, the slip of paper's contents are based on this, albeit using (I think) a different translation.]
