More German Influence

To continue the light-hearted tongue-in-cheek German-bashing theme that has pervaded this blog, here are some German songs, actions and jokes so flat that could fit under a doorway:

German joke: in hell, the British cook while the Germans tell jokes.

German anecdote: my friend Thorsten was playing sport when he had a cramp, so he grabbed his muscle and yelled "Mein krampf!"

German Freudian slip: Thorsten was cooking 'spiNAZI' (spinach).

Common Dutch request of the Germans: give me back my bicycle! (In reference to the amount of Dutch bicycle metal melted into German panzer tanks)

German translations:
  • No one can reach me on the water.
  • You are on the woodway.
Anything said in Denglisch by Westerwelle, the German "Outside" Minister. For those interested, there is a Facebook group dedicated to Denglisch: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dont-bring-me-on-the-palm-With-me-is-not-good-cherry-eating/390569974457. It is not the yellow from the egg, but it goes.

I will never forget the countless times that Thorsten and Unger have mimicked this line.
