Why do americans like to visit Rome so much? Because it reminds them of home.

How was Rome split in half? With a pair of Caesars...

A rich American tourist was holidaying in Rome, and was intent on seeing the Pope. There he stood, in a big long line with a rather expensive suit on, hoping the Pope would notice how smart he was and perhaps talk a few words with him. As the Pope made his way slowly down the line, he walked right past the American, hardly even noticing him.
