Five Germans in an Audi Quattro arrive at the Spanish border.

The Spanish Customs Officer stops them and tells them "It's-a illegal to putta 5 people in a Quattro."

"Vot do you mean it's illegal?" asks the German driver.

"Quattro meansa four," replies the Spanish official.

"Quattro is just ze name of ze automobile" the Germans retort unbelievingly.
Look at ze papers, ze car is designed to karry 5 persons."

"You cant a pulla that a one on me!" replies the Spanish customs officer.
"Quattro meansa four. You have fivea people ina your car and you are
therefore abreaking the law."

The German driver replies angrily, "You idiot! Call your zupervisor over. I
vant to speak to someone viz more intelligence!"

"Sorry," responds the Spanish officer, "He can'ta come. He's a busy with a 2
guys in a Fiat Uno.

In my Army days we had 3 ton trucks which referred to their unladen weight. The works sheet showed the vehicle to be a 3 tonner. The number of times we got away with a fully laden vehicle weighing perhaps 8 tons gross going down a weight restricted road of, say, 4.5 tonnes max, in Germany was a laugh. The Polizei never seemed to catch on to it.
How many people is Rover 75 allowed to carry then?

Just as an aside..........Actually three ton trucks, in the army were called that because they were designed to carry three tons of cargo over any terrain. They certainly didnt wiegh three tons unladen, as a ten tonner, also didn't. or the five ton stalwart, or the 1/4 ton land rover SWB and the 3/4 ton LWB. The three tonners were uprated later to 4 tonners, but still didn't weigh four tons.
