A Swedish tourist in New York was standing in front of the Empire State building, and started counting all the floors.
A policeman approached him and thought to himself: "This guy must be Swedish" and decided to take advantage of him. He went up to him and said: "Do you know that it is illegal to count the floors on buildings in the United States?"
The Swede replied: "No sir, I had no idea."
The police officer then said: "I'm afraid I'll have to charge you $10.00 per floor you counted."
The Swede then said: "Oh, I counted 50 floors, sir."
After the police officer left, the Swede thought to himself: "My, how these Americans are stupid! I told him that I had counted 50 floors when I had actually counted 51!"
