Quotes

  • Ilya Kudinovhas quoted9 years ago
    Costa Rica was the first country in the Americas, by a few hours at any rate, to declare war on Nazi Germany and Japan after the bombing of Pearl Harbour. Hitler failed to retaliate, however, because—according to a Costa Rican joke—he couldn’t find the country on his world map. It was totally obscured by a squashed fly.
