Five Englishmen And the Italian Border

Five Englishmen in an Audi Quattro arrive at the Italian border. The Italian Customs agent stops them and says, “It’s illegal to put five people in a Quattro.”

“What do you mean it’s illegal?” asked the Englishmen.
“Quattro means ‘four’,” replies the Italian official.
“Quattro is just the name of the automobile,” the Englishmen retort disbelievingly. “Look at the papers: this car is designed to carry five persons.”
“You can’t pull that one on me,” replies the Italian customs agent. “Quattro means ‘four’. You have five people in your car and you are therefore breaking the law.”
The Englishmen reply angrily, “You idiot! Call your supervisor over – we want to speak to someone with more intelligence!”
“Sorry,” responds the Italian official, “he can’t come. He’s busy with two guys in a Fiat Uno.”
