AMERICAN TOURIST

An American man was on holiday in Paris and decided to hire a personal tour guide to help him look around the city. The tour guide first took his client to the cathedral in Montmartre where the tourist asked him how long the cathedral took to build, to which the reply was: "about ten years". The American retorted: "Gee, in America, we would have had this up in ten months!" The next attractions were the Arc De Triomphe, Notre-Dame and the Louvre, and at each place the American asked the same question and then retorted with a boast of how quickly the monument would have been built in America. When they arrived at the Eiffel Tower, the American asked the guide: "Wow, what is that?" and the exasperated man replied flatly: "I have no idea - it certainly wasn't there yesterday".
