A Christmas story from Switzerland
Three 95 year old men from a remote Alpine village decide to walk down to see the "big city" at a slightly lower elevation. They have never been, and they are curious to see a place with electricity and running water, and the city is rumored to have almost 200 people--a true metropolis!
After an hour's walk, they arrive at their destination, and walk around, marveling at the technology. But the trip has been tiring, and they need a rest. They find an empty bench and sit down, with heads bowed. The German-speaking Swiss have a reputation for being somewhat slow in their speech and reactions, and indeed, for half an hour nothing at all happens.
Suddenly the first one looks up and declares to the other two: "Sex is nice."
His head droops back down, and for the next half hour there is silence.
Half an hour later, the second one looks up and declares to the other two, "Christmas is also nice."
The second man's head droops back down, and another half hour passes.
Half an hour after that, the third man looks up, and reminds the other two: "And Christmas comes more often!"
