A really great laugh

The Titannic was sinking. There were not enough life-boats. The captain announced that the life-boats will be kept for the women and children. So he shouted to the men to jump into the icy waters to make room for them. He turned to the Englishmen first and said, "You Englishmen are gentlemen" and beckoned. The English jumped without hesitation

He turned to the Americans and said, "You Americans are heroes" and beckoned. The Americans quickly jumped. Then the Captain turned to the Germans and pointedly said, "For you Germans, it is the rule." The Germans obliged and jumped. Then he turned to the Japanese bowed and said, "It is the consensus of all of you" and the Japanese jumped without hesitation.

Then, he turned to the Singaporeans. He persuaded them to jump but they won't move. He tried all kinds of methods but none worked. Finally, he said, there will be free life jackets given for those who will jump. That was when all the Singaporeans jumped because "free gifts" are a way of life for them.

HOW DIFFERENT PEOPLE RESPOND TO SITUATIONS IS VERY INTERESTING, ISN'T IT?
