A Greek and an Italian were talking one day, discussing who had the superior culture.
Over coffee, the Greek says:- "Well, we built the Parthenon."
The Italian replies -"We built the Coliseum."
The Greek retorts "We Greeks gave birth to mathematics."
The Italian, nodding, 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 included women."
