Five Germans in an Audi Quattro arrive at the Italian border.
The Italian Customs agent stops them and tells them, "It's illegal to
put 5 people in a Quattro."
"Vot do you mean it's illegal?", asks the German driver.
"Quattro meansa four", replies the Italian official.
"Qvattro is just ze name of ze automobile", the Germans retort
unbelievingly, "Look at ze papers: zis car is designt to kerry
5 persons."
"You can'ta pulla thata one on me!", replies the Italian customs agent,
"Quattro meansa four. You have fivea people ina your car and
you are thereforea breaking the law."
The German driver replies angrily, "You idiot! Call your
zupervisor over - I vant to speak to somevone viz more intelligence!"
"Sorry.", responds the Italian official, "He can'ta come.
He'sa busy with 2 guys in a Fiat Uno."
(Remark for our friends overseas: The Fiat "Uno" is a famous compact car
in Europe)
