[Culturechat] Swiss Humor

[Vance Roy]

Actually, the Swiss do make fun of each other. Much like in the USA 
with a lot of regional humor. Jokes about the German, Italian, and 
French parts. Also fun is made from kanton to kanton. We in Obwalden 
are called "Behind the Moon" by those in Luzern. Appenzellers are the 
butt of a lot of short people jokes, etc.
