Thank God for Italians... A Greek and Italian were sitting in a Starbuck's 
one day discussing who had the superior culture. Over triple lattes, the 
Greek guy says, "Well, we have the Parthenon, arching his eyebrows, the 
Italian replies, "We have the Coliseum." The Greek retorts, "We Greeks 
gave  birth to advanced mathematics. The  Italian, nodding agreement, and
says, "But we built the Roman Empire." And 
so on and so on, until the Greek comes up with what he thinks will end the 
discussion... With a flourish of finality he says! 

"We invented sex!" 

The Italian replies, That is true, but... it was the Italians who 
introduced it to women."
