There was the story about the French guy who visited New York. he went up to a cop and said "come quick - there's a couple making love in the park". So the cop follows the guy and eventually, behind a whole lot of bushes and stuff they find a young couple making love.

So the cop draws the fremch guy back and says "Well sir, they're very well hidden - I mean they're not exactly flaunting it are they? And you sound foreign - French? Well I'm surprised sir, I thought you french were supposed to be romantic!"

The french guy exclaims "But you don't understand officer, the woman is dead!!"

So the cop takes another look and then says "No sir, she's not dead, she's American!"
