I didn't post a joke for 100 or 1000, so let's try 1500. (I actually just posted something elsewhere and realized I'd hit the magic number and had my third star!)
An American visiting England asked at the hotel for the elevator.
The porter looked a bit confused but smiled when he realized what the man wanted.
"You must mean the lift," he said.
"No," the American responded. "If I ask for the elevator, I mean the elevator."
"Well," the porter answered. "Over here we call them lifts."
"Now you listen," the American said, rather irritated. "Someone in American invented the elevator!"
"Oh, right you are, sir," the porter said in a polite tone. "But someone here in England invented the language."

Jan, Yeah, I'm like Pauline...I read it, and laughed...sorta...THEN really READ it! Too funny! It reminds me of the great name that was suggested for our online book club, "Book Flights". That took a minute as well, but then,!
Asked by one tourist of another while waiting in line for the CN Tower in Toronto, "Excuse me, is this the Eiffel Tower?" Brenda
