One month later on this absolutely stunning deserted island in the middle of nowhere, the following has occurred:

One Italian man killed the other Italian man in order to get the Italian woman.

The two French men and the French woman are living happily together in a "menage-a-trois".

The two German men have a strict weekly schedule of when they alternate with the German woman.

The two Greek men are sleeping with each other and the Greek woman is cleaning and cooking for them.

The Bulgarian men took a long look at the endless ocean and one look at the Bulgarian woman and they started swimming.

The Irish began by dividing up the island into North and South, and then setting up a distillery. None of them remember if sex is in the picture, because it gets sort of foggy after the first few litres of coconut whiskey, but at least the English are not getting any.

The two American men are contemplating the virtues of suicide while the American woman keeps on talking about her body being her own, the true nature of feminism, how she can do everything that they can do, about the necessity of fulfilment, the equal division of household chores, how her last boyfriend respected her opinion and treated her much nicer and how her relationship with her mother is improving. But at least the taxes are low and it is not raining.

...AND...

The definition of Heaven: A British home, an American Salary, Chinese food, a German car and a Latin lover.

A very large, old, building was being demolished in a historic part of London, in order to make room for the construction of a modern office block. Due to its proximity to other buildings it could not be blown up and so had to be dismantled floor by floor. While working on the 4th floor, two construction workers found a skeleton in a small cupboard behind the lift shaft and decided that they should call the police.

When the police arrived they directed them to the cupboard and showed them the skeleton, which was fully clothed and standing upright. They asked how long it would take for the Police to determine the skeleton's identity and were told that it might only be a few days because the teeth had numerous fillings, which would easily enable dental records to be consulted.

A week went by and the construction workers couldn't stand it any more, they just had to know who they had found. They called the police and said "We are the two construction workers who found the skeleton in the cupboard and we would like to know if it has been identified and whether it was somebody important".

The police replied "Well yes, in a way it was somebody important".

"Well, who was it?" they asked.
