Got this from an email this am about this great debate.

A Greek and Italian were sitting in a Cafe one day discussing who had the
superior culture.

Over shots of espresso the Greek guy said, "Well, we have the Parthenon."

Arching his eyebrows, the Italian replied, "Ah, but we have the Coliseum."

The Greek retorted, "True, but we Greeks gave birth to advanced mathematics"

The Italian, nodding agreement, said, "But we built the Roman Empire."

And so on until the Greek came up with what he thought would trump the discussion..
With a flourish of finality he said, "We invented sex!"

The Italian pondered just a moment before he replied, "That is true, but it was the Italians who introduced it to women."
