  1. German is a funny language if you like bathroom humour. Every time I read Furtwängler I see 'fart wrangler'. When in Berlin I almost laughed myself to death after seeing a taxi with a sign saying 'fahrt mit erdengas' Ha! Fart with natural gas!! Oh God, that's gold, Jerry.

    Finally, a sign in a laundromat in east Berlin: A pretty girl, scantily clad and posing somewhat sexually captioned with 'Wir suchen dich'. I had to ask my wife if that sign meant what I thought it meant, 'cause if it did, wow was prostitution ever open in Germany!
