It reminded me another story:

Three boys from different countries met in some place.
"Do you know," said the boy from Germany, "my grandfather is a priest 
and everybody calls him a holy father."
"It's nothing," said the boy from Japan, "my grandfather is a Zen guru 
and even Emperor touches his feet."
"That's bullshit," said the boy from the US, "my mother weights 600 
pounds, and when she is in the street people exclaim 'My God!'"

Bye, Roy!
