Here is a (very) short digest of some jokes abt Corsica.
For those of you who are new on this list, let me remind you that Corsican 
people is said to be lazy, vy vy vy lazy ...

Info : the native Corsican call France (mainland) "Le Continent".
Now, enjoy ...

Two Corsican under a chestnut: 
- Eh! Dominique, I have the fly opened or not? 
- Not 
- Ok ... so I will piss tomorrow.

A Corsican woman returns from funerals of her husband who, in accordance with 
his last wills, was incinerated. She comes back home with the ballot box and 
pours ashes in a sand glass and says : "NOW, WORK !!!" 

==

A tourist in Ajaccio try to establish some contact with the natives : 
- It is a good beautiful country which you live there. 
- Yep ... one can say like that. 
- And with beautiful quite fatty ground...... fertile. 
- Pweww ! ... nothing can grow here. 
- You surprise me. I am myself farmer on the continent and I am sure that here, 
if one plants... 
- Ahhh , if one plants, then...

Two Corsican sat on a bench (normal). The bank which faces them is attacked 
with dynamite (normal, still). Banknotes fall everywhere on the place, the 
first Corsican opens the hands and says : "Do like me, if the wind rises, we 
are rich"

During the world championship of hammer throwing : a German athlete enter the 
ring... takes the hammer, turns, turns and threws the hammer ... 150M.... new 
record... 
A French from the continent arrives, concentrated, he takes the hammer, turns, 
turns, threws the hammer in the airs ... 185 M... new record once again!!!

Corsican's turn now, for the ultimate try. He turns, turns and threws the 
hammer in the air with a phenomenal force so much so that the hammer leaves the 
stadium and disappears... 
Astonished the sport correspondents run towards him.... 
"But how have you done that ??" 
And the Corsican proudly answers .. - Tools : far away from me !

==

Why are the Corsicans small? 
Because one said to them: "When you will be [tall], you will work."

[Here there is a "word game" with petit/grand (small/tall). In French, when you 
speak to a child abt his future, you say "Quand tu seras grand" -> "When you 
will be older".]

==

Two Corsican arrive on the continent for the first time. The first sees a panel 
of the DDE [roadmen]: "Warning - work on progress" 
One of the Corsican turned over towards the second and said : "At least, here 
they warn us".

During a recent strike in Ajaccio, the management staff of the firm has to call 
upon the C.R.S. to make evacuating the workshop. Those intervened with blow of 
teargas grenades. It was the first time that one saw Corsicans leaving their 
work while crying.

[C.R.S. : Compagnie R�publicaine de S�curit�. Some mix btwn Police & Army. Not 
really known as being "soft" when on duty]
