Rugby - A game for ruffians played by gentlemen

Soccer (football)- A game for gentlemen played by ruffians

In Heaven-
The British are the police
The French are the cooks
The Italians build the cars
and
The Germans run the trains.

In Hell -
The Germans are the police
The French build the cars
The Italians run the trains
and
The British are the cooks.

I heard a slightly different version, the definition of style was;

Wear Italian
Drive German
Eat French
Speak English

You can work out your own definition of what is not stylish.

I thought everything the British cooked was gray in color.

The Heaven/Hell one I know is a little more involved:

In Heaven..
The British are the police,
The Germans are the engineers,
The French are the chefs,
The Italians are the lovers, and
The Swiss put it all together.

In Hell...
The German are the police,
The French are the engineers,
The British are the chefs,
The Swiss are the lovers, and
The Italians put it all together.
