During the good old days of Ronald Reagan, in an attempt to improve connections with France,Germany and Belgium,an add appears in Le Soir-Algemeine Zeitung and Gazet van Antwerpen.

"Wanted:entrepeneurs for the prestigious job of painting the White House."

After a few weeks the Reagan staff has collected the most expencive offers of the 3 country's,after all it's tax payers money isn't it,and they are to say the least a little surprised about the huge difference in price.

France:1 million $
Germany:2 million $
Belgium:3 million$

Reagan decides to invite the 3 entrepeneurs and ask them personaly abouth the price quotes.

The Frenchmen walks into the Oval office and Reagan immediately ask him how come his offer is so low.

The Frenchmen reply's:Oh that's easy Monsieur Reagan,We uze very sheap paint and thze painters are all from our former colony Algeria.We have no insurence ande no contract as tzhose pied noirs cannot write or read.

Hmmm... interesting,very interesting Ronny reply's.
On his way out the French entrepeneur kindly greats the German entrepeneur as he enters the Oval office.

Ronny,not forgotten how to handle those krauts from his heroic WW II episode,immediately goes in to attack and says:well Herr can you explain me why your quote is double that of the French?
Aber Herr Reagan,you know that you cannot trust those French do you?
We use only top quality paint and our workers use the high standard DIN norm for their work.
Quality is expenzive Herr Reagan.

Finally the Belgian entrepeneur is invited into the room and while Ronny makes it himself comfortable in a huge club seat he says:
well you little Belgian bastard can you explain me how in hell your quote is 3 million $ which is 1 million higher than from our German friend for the same job?

While he lights a sigare the Belgian fraude reply's,oh that's easy Ronny:1 million $ for you, 1 million $ for me and from that other million $ we let that stupid Frenchmen paint the White House.
