M-Apero IV

German invasion! I was just thinking yesterday of how many of ze Germans there were at my apero. Plenty. One Swiss and me. The rest were all Deutsch. Hoch-Deutsch. And it was funny, 'cause they thought that I spoke Switzedütch (Swiss German), which can mean one of two things. One, that I speak unintelligibly or two, that I speak German with an accent. I choose to believe number two.

It was less fortunate today when I was at this party, out smoking with a group a people, and just threw out there that I thought that Germans have no sense of humour. Having the group looking at me like I was an alien. Hmmm. Probably not the best comment when you're trying to make new friends.

But when confronted I asked them to come up with a good German joke, and was told one that involved a horse, a helicopter, a car and something else I cannot remember and the twist was "glühwein". Proved my point I'd like to think.
