It brings to mind a joke I heard from an Aunt of mine who lived through the 45 years of occupation in East Germany.
A Canadian, an American and a German were in a bar talking about their homeland. The were discussing the vast wilderness in each of the countries. The American said, "Our wilderness is so vast you could go hiking and not come out for a week" The Canadian rhetorted, "That's nothing eh, in Canada you could go out for a hike and not come back for a week." The German responded, "Zat is nozing, in East Germany, ze zoviets came in in 1945 and did not find their vay out for 45 years."
Sure, it looses a little in translation but I think you get the point.
