A Pakistani arrives in New York City.
All excited, he stops the first person he meets.
"Good day, Mr.American, thank you to accept me in your nice country, and..."
The person interrupts and says: "I am not American, I'm Mexican.
The Pakistani continues on his way and meets another passer-by:
"Thank you Mr. American for to let my family and me stay here..."
Again, he is interrupted before finishing his sentence:
"I no be American, I be Turk!"
The Pakistani continues on his way and meets another passer-by:
"Mr. American, me thank you for hospitality you give..."
"But my friend, don't you see that I am black? I am Nigerian, not American."
"But," answers the Pakistani distressed, "then, where are the Americans??"
The Nigerian looks at his watch and says:
"Oh, they don't get off work 'til five o'clock!"
