Potioncat:
One of my favorite jokes is about an Englishman and an American 
arguing over what to call the different parts of a car-- boot/trunk, 
bonnet/hood, windscreen?/windshield.

Exasperated, the American says, "I'm right. After all we Americans 
invented the automobile!"

The Englishman replied, "True, but we invented the language."

If you liked that, I have another. A man walked into...

Hey, where did everybody go?
