An American goes into a European bar and orders his dinner and to drink he ordered a coke. The waitress comes back with his drink, but the American calls back the waitress and says "you forgot the ice". The waitress responds we don't serve ICE in Europe.
Clearly, I messed up the joke but what I find interesting underneath the joke is that there were a bunch of well-known and respected American institutions that went by letters, FBI, CIA, CDC, IRS. They were not a joke to the international community. But now we have an agency the is reviled in this country (the mask thing) and is a joke world wide.
