The Frenchman, the German, and the Israeli were sitting in the cafe drinking coffee and talking about how they lived.
The Frenchman said, "When I go to work, I drive my ten-thousand-dollar Peugeot, and when I travel abroad, I always drive a fifty-thousand-dollar Citroen."
"Bah," scoffed the German. "I drive my ten-thousand-dollar Volkswagen to work. But on weekends, I drive a fifty-thousand-dollar BMW, and when I go abroad, I drive a seventy-five-thousand-dollar Mercedes."
"Very impressive," the Israeli said. "As for me, I take the bus to work. I drive a used Ford around on the weekends. But when I go to abroad, I drive a five-hundred-thousand-dollar armored Tank."
