Not that I want to press Giok's original point (in which I do not in fact believe), but I did find it amusing that the National Lampoon site with P.J.O'Rourke's steretotypes contains only 22 "nationalities". Why, there's more countries than that in the old Yugoslavia and USSR alone!

To contradict Giok's point, how about the stereotype of the American who, once they've made it across to Europe, insist on "doing" a country a day or something like that (It's Tuesday afternoon, so this must be Belgium).

I don't believe in stereotypes. As a Greek, I have never "bug****d" a sheep. Only the most degenerate of Greeks would do that.

Not when there are goats about.
