A Very Funny Story and Oh So True!

A Russian arrives in New York City as a new illegal immigrant to the United States. It's 11:00 AM on a Wednesday. He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, "Thank you Mr. American for letting me come into this country, giving me housing, food stamps, new Cellphone, free medical care, and a free education!"The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I’m a Mexican."

The man goes on and meets another passerby. "Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in America." The person says, "I'm not American, I’m Vietnamese."

The new arrival walks farther, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand, and says, "Thank you for wonderful America! That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Middle East. I am not American."

He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you an American?” She says, "No, I’m from Canada." Puzzled, the Russian asks her, "Where are all the Americans?" The Canadian lady checks her watch and says, "Probably at work."
