A swede made a trip to New York and while standing in front of the
Empire State building, he started to count all the floors.

A policeman
came by and thought to himself, "That one must be swedish." and decided to
take advantage of him.

He went up to him and said, "Do you know that it's illegal to count the
foors on buildings in the United States?"

The swede replied, "No sir, I
did not."

The police officer then said, "I'm afraid I'll have tocharge you
$10.00 per floor you counted."

The swede then said, "Oh, I ounted 50
floors, sir."

The police officer left, very happy.

Then, a swedish comrad
came along and asked what had just happened.

His friend replied, "My, how these Americans are stupid! I told him that I
had counted 50 floors when I had really counted 51!"
