Italian Border Crossing

[edhackett]

Five Germans in an Audi Quattro arrive at the Italian border.
The Italian Customs Officer stops them and tells them "It'sa illegala to putta 5 people in a Quattro."

"Vot do you mean it's illegal?" asks the German driver.

"Quattro meansa four" replies the Italian official.

"Quattro is just ze name of zefokken automobile" the German says
unbelievingly. "Look at ze dam papers: ze car is designed to karry 5
persons"

"You canta pulla thata one on me!" replies the Italian customs officer.

"Quattro meansa four. You have five-a people ina your car and you are
thereforea breaking the law."

The German driver replies angrily, "You idiot! Call your zupervisor
over. I vant to speak to someone viz more intelligence!"

"Sorry" responds the Italian officer, "He can'ta come. He'sa da busy
witha 2 guys in a Fiat Uno"

Whats the punchline?

... that Italy is due to withdraw from the Schengen agreement and institute border guards and such?

Hah, I get it. I'd love to see a single seater car.

Funny!

I guess people in US are not familiar with fiat uno, one of the best selling cars in Europe in 80's. My parents had 2 of those.

Vikas,

The joke never said they were crossing from Germany into Italy just that there were Germans who were driving into Italy.

I was going to say that, but my original comment was funnier.

Maybe it is actually Swiss who speak Italian, like at the border crossing at Como, Italy. There are border guards there.
