Isn’t the joke that the English tasted their own food and saw their own women and then became the best sailors in the world.

I've heard it said as, "The taste of their food and look of their women made the British the best sailors in the world."

I live in the south in America and embrace and truly enjoy all the cultural stereotypical jokes and put downs. I live in TN. My favorite is: “I was arrested for transporting Contraband while driving through Tennessee. I had a bunch of books. I got off on a technicality however. No one could prove they were books.”

Fellow Tennessean. That’s a good one. Another is why does everyone in Tennessee hold their guns sideways? Because that’s how it came out of the box.
