Clichés are the Funniest Things

My friend Leonel, a social psychologist from the University of Lisbon, gave a talk on stereotyping in our laboratory a few years ago.  He noted that when he mentions that he is from Lisbon, people think of the picture to the right.  I laughed because (although this is not the exact picture), the image was funny, and I also laughed because Leonel has a great sense of humor and he always makes me laugh.
