When God made the world, he gave only two virtues to the men, so they could thrive.

Then:
- He made the Swisses some studious and law respecter people.
- He made the English some organized and punctual people.
- The Argentines, annoying and arrogant.
- The Japaneses, laborious e disciplined.
- The Italians, cheerful and romantic.
- The Frenchs, cultivated and elegant.
- The Brazilians, intelligent, honest and "petistas" (petista= someone who appreciate or is member of PT - Partido dos Trabalhadores, the party of our president Lula)

The angel took notes and full of respect and humbleness, asked God this question:

"My Lord, to every people in the world you gave two virtues, but you gave three to Brazilians! It will make them superb comparing to the other peoples in the Earth, won't it?"
"Very well observed, my angel!" Exclaimed God.
"That's true! Let's correct it."

"From now on, the Brazilians (who live in my heart) will keep these three virtues, but none of Brazilians will use more then two virtues simultaneously like the other people!"

"So the person who would be 'petista' and honest, could not be smart. The one who would be 'petista' and itelligent, couldn't be honest. And the one who would be honest and intelligent, couldn't be 'petista'."


This joke is funny for us brazilians because it deals with the situation of our president Lula. He is "petista" and most people criticizes him because he doesn't have a graduation degree. There's some prejudice against argentines, also.
