"No, fuck off; I'm sleeping."

The first one says with resignation, "Fuck it, I'll wait until tomorrow to pee."


I heard that joke in the 18th Arrondissement of Paris, in 1983. I got it, but the impact was lost on me as I really knew nothing at all about Corsicans or how they were perceived by the French.

Sometimes humor is like wine in that it doesn't travel well.
To continental French, Corsicans are renowned for their lazyness, their cheese (really smelly though I've known worse) and their bombs (they want their autonomy)
