Hi there, now I do something terrible... translate a joke from a German 
newsgroup (de.talk.jokes) and post it here:

===================

Some little kids from different countries discuss the question where
little kids come from. The German kid: The stork brings them; the
Italian kid: They come out of the cabbages; the French kid: Well I must
not tell you exactly, but it has something to do with man and woman and
bedroom. Then they ask the Swiss kid, it ponders for a while and says:
Well, in our country, this is handled differently in the different
Kantons [states].

====================

Why did I commit this translation-crime? 
Well I'd like to know about lots of countries: where the babies come
from; and make a list. 

Germany --- the stork brings them;
  Germany, offensive: "The donkey lost you while galloping"
France  --- they grow inside cabbages and roses
Italy   --- they grow inside cabbages apparently, but I've never 
                                                 heard it before

Others???
