My dissertation director in graduate school told me a story he
once heard in Italy during WW II.  Italians told it among
themselves about other national groups. 

If two Frenchmen are marooned on a desert island with one
woman, they will fight a duel to decide who gets her.

If two Englishmen are marooned on a desert island with one
woman, they will amicably share her between them in the name
of "good form."

If two Germans are marooned on a desert island with one
woman, they will kill her and take each other.
