An old joke, when Austria was a great empire ...

One Englishman - a gentleman
two Englishmen - a club
three Englishmen - a Commonwealth

one Frenchman - a charmer
two Frenchmen - a love affair
three Frenchmen - a marriage

one German - a pedant
two Germans - an association
three Germans - a war

one Austrian - a cavalier
two Austrians - a sloppiness
three Austrians - there are no three Austrians; the third always is either a Hungarian, Czech or Jew
