Heaven is where the police are British, the chefs Italian, the mechanics
German, the lovers French and it is all organized by the Swiss.

It reminds me of the story about the various languages:

French: the language for loving
Italian: the language for singing
English: the language for shouting

and


German: the language for calling hogs

The version I heard of this is attributed to Charles V, the Holy
Roman Emperor. He says that English is the language for business,
French is for lying, Italian for talking to women, German for talking to
animals, and Spanish (he was a Spaniard) is for talking to G-d.
