USA people are not too familiar with Europe which extends from the Arctic circle (Svalbard, 81º North, Norwegian) to the Mediterranean, and from the French coast to the Ural mountains in Russia. The 28 countries of the EU have a population exceeding 800 million (the USA's is about 307m). That leaves about 22 European countries not (yet) in the EU.
My take would be he just didn't focus on the domain name. Sysadmins usually decipher those into geographical location easily. I admire Europe: everybody speaks multiple languages. BTW one of our professors brought this joke when he came back from Europe. If I wasn't sure the joke has long-long beard I would think he made it up himself...: Person who speaks 2 languages: bilingual, 3 languages: trilingual; 1 language: American ;-)
