An Italian – will throw away the cup and walk away in a fit of rage.
A Frenchman – will take out the fly, and drink the coffee.
A Chinaman – will eat the fly and throw away the coffee.
A Russian – will drink the coffee with the fly, since it was extra with no
charge.
An Israeli – will sell the coffee to the Frenchman, the fly to the Chinese, buy himself a new cup of coffee and use the extra money to invent a device that prevents flies from falling into coffee.
The Palestinian – will blame the Israeli for the fly falling in his coffee, protest the act of aggression to the UN, take a loan from the European Union to buy a new cup of coffee, use the money to purchase explosives and then blow up the coffee house where the Italian, the Frenchman, the Chinese, and the Russian are all trying to explain to the Israeli that he should give his cup of coffee to the Palestinian.
