Heaven: The British are the police, the Germans the mechanics, the French the cooks, the Italians are the lovers and the whole thing is run by the Swiss.

Here is yet another version:
Heaven is an American salary, an English house, a Japanese wife, and a Chinese cook. Hell is a Chinese salary, a Japanese house, and English cook, and an American wife.
