A lonely Yank is vacationing in Europe.. ...and is just about to finish out his trip in Great Britain, which saddens him, because he came looking for romance, but has had zero luck. He's out at the pub one evening, where he spies a pair of women drinking alone. They're a wee bit on the larger side, so he heads over to chat them up, thinking that his hefty American physique won't be as much of a hinderance as it was on the Continent. "Hello ladies," he said, "if you don't mind me asking: are you ladies from England?" One of the women responds coldly, "Wales." "Oh, my apologies," replied the Yank, "are you whales from England?"
