a famous Joke about those who's on sinking boat
I quoted and translated this from a book on foreigner's jokes mentioning about Japanese people, which is written in Japanese. Please don't take this too seriously, it's a joke with wrong stereo-typed aspects.
This is a story about people on a sinking ferry. The capacity of boats to escape is less than those who on the ferry. Therefore, the ladies, the children and the olds on the ferry come fist to get on the boats. The captain needs to ask the gentlemen who's from various countries to jump into the frigid sea. He said ...
to the English;
It's no wonder gentleman jumps into the sea to be gentleman.
to the Germans;
According to the regulation, the gentlemen must jump into the sea.
to the Americans;
You could be a hero, if you jumped into the sea.
to the Russions;
The bins of vodka were flowed. But, you'd catch them up if you jump into the sea now.
to the French;
Please don't jump into the sea.
to the Japanese;
The all others jumped into the sea.
to the Chinese;
I saw mouth-watering fish swims.
to the North Koreans;
Now, it's the very chance to exile!

A famous joke about people on a sinking ship
I've translated this from a book, written in Japanese, which quotes foreigners' jokes featuring Japanese people.
Please don't take it too seriously. It's a joke about false stereotypes.
The capacity of the lifeboats is less than the number of people on board the ferry.
So women, children, and old people have priority in boarding the lifeboats.
The captain has to ask the men from various countries to jump into the icy sea.
He says ...
Any man who was a gentleman would, of course, jump into the sea.
According to the regulation, all the men must jump into the sea.
The cases of vodka have been washed overboard.
But, you can salvage them if you jump into the sea now.
Everyone else has jumped into the sea.
I saw some mouth-watering fish swimming in the sea.
Go! Now! This is your chance to escape your country!
Do you know which country the person who wrote this comes from?
Here's another joke about national stereotypes:
- In Britain everything is permitted unless it is specifically forbidden by the law.
- In Germany everything is forbidden unless it is specifically permitted by the law.
- In France everything is permitted even if it is specifically forbidden by the law.
- In Russia everything is forbidden even if it is specifically permitted by the law.
I like your quotation anyway.
