My dad's faster than your dad
 

Found this one in French, thought it was cute. Original first,
followed by my translation.

Trois enfants se disputent dans la cour de récréation.
Ils disent tous les trois que c'est leur Papa qui est
le plus rapide du monde.

Le premier dit fièrement: "Moi, mon Papa, il travaille
à la SNCF. Il conduit le TGV et il met deux heures pour
faire Paris à Lyon."

Mais le deuxième répond: "Eh ben moi, mon Papa, il va
encore plus vite, il pilote le Concorde et il met trois
heures pour aller de Paris à New York."

"Eh ben mon Papa, il est encore plus rapide," conclut
le troisième. "Il est fonctionnaire. Il finit à cinq heures
et tous les jours, à quatre heures et demie, il est à la
maison!"

Three children are arguing on the playground. Each of
them claims that his father is the fastest man in the
world.

The first one proudly says, "My father works for the
National Railroad. He drives the high-speed train, and
in two hours he goes from Paris to Lyon."

But the second one replies, "Oh, well, my father
goes even faster. He pilots the Concorde and in three
hours he goes from Paris to New York."

"Well, *my* father, he's even faster than that," concludes
the third one. "He's a civil servant. He gets off work at
five o'clock, and every day he's home by four-thirty!"

:) Sounds like me.. cute :thumbsup:
