I think this is the first joke that has no relation to sex except the word erected and not of the Internet either.
An American, a Frenchman, and an Australian were sitting in a bar overlooking Sydney Harbor.
"Do you know why America is the wealthiest country in the world?" asked the American. "It's because we build big and build fast. We put up the Empire State Building in six weeks."
"Six weeks, mon dieu, so long!" snapped the Frenchman, "ze Eiffel Tower we erected in one month exactement. And you," he continued, turning to the Australian, "what has Australia done to match that?"
"Ah, nuthin' mate. Not that I know of,"
The American pointed to the Harbor Bridge. "what about that?" he asked.
The Australian looked over his shoulder. "Dunno mate, wasn't there yesterday."

To Gaara o, are you kidding?
Aussies are known world-wide for their self-deprecating sense-of-humour!!
The ability to laugh at ourselves has always been deep-seated in our culture.

i had heard a slightly different version earlier.. but funny nevertheless. in that version, a tourist guide is showing different monuments to a group of tourists, who, to his dismay, are expressionless even when he shows them most exciting wonders of architectural history. then he leads them to Taj Mahal and remains silent. The group asks him, "what about this buliding?" He replies, "Dunno. It wasn't here till last night."
