Who Said The Germans Don't Have A Sense Of Humour?

Hi Janey, that is brilliant! I bet the German who thought of it was as straight faced as a straight face can get. :) I was once told that Germans laugh at a joke three times. First time, it is because everybody laughs and they dont want to look conspicuously dumb. :) The second time, because they really understand the joke. :) And the tird time they laugh at themselves for laughing without understanding the joke the first time round. :) Well, as long as they exercise those muscles, who can complain. :) As to sense of humor, I am the one who doesn't understand some of the jokes. So may be I might just have some German genes there.

Warum denn nicht? (Why not?) I guess if your tax dollars aren't enough to cover it, you have to get creative....

hey why not? it would make the road look a lot nicer for sure. i know germans have a sense of humour, i am married to one and the church we go to is german!

Hello, Janey. Yes, German organisation at its best. They certainly do have a sense of humour. Several years ago we were on holiday in Spain, and there was an international band contest in the resort. The German band was staying in our hotel, and it was the same time that Germany beat Czechoslovakia in the European Championship. We remarked that they seemed to take it for granted they would win, whereas if it had been England, all the Brits would have been jumping up and down and shouting. With that, the band went to fetch their instruments and gave a rousing rendition of the Queen hit 'We Are the Champions.' Not to be outdone, the Brits started humming 'The Dambusters March,' and making like aeroplanes around the hotel terrace. The Germans started laughing, and some of them even joined in with us. The drink probably helped, but a good night was had by all.

I see,you buy the hole and then they fill it so it is gone. Then your name is there for about 5 minutes till it gets worn off. If it was April the first I would think it was a tease. I think maybe our road tax should pay for some guys to drive around with a tarmac lorry and jolly well fill in the holes. Of course long ago ,they used to get the convicts out there with hammers and piles of rocks and I guess they did a good job but that is probably looked at as unkind these days .

Interesting idea, I'd like to see if it actually works. My name etched in a pothole, hmmm, think I'll run down and buy one immediately. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe THIS is what they'll be using for the Job! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/scotland_video_and_audio/8083560.stm

some "hole" sale shopping - oooo the PAIN, the PAIN!!!

Well, that's one way to go about it.

Who says the Germans do not have a sense of humour- I am hearing this for the first time ( except for the war-time Hitler & his Nazis) - I spent many years in Germany as a student then again on work for a couple of years and some of my & my family best friends rill today are German families as well- not only they are humorous but they are sincere as friends and are hard working too. I had even attended an outdoor fun filled event there where they called participants from the public ( it was heavily attended & crowded in that city event) for some fun- sports - it was televised - and the events were very funny- you needed a good humour filled brain to think of such fun!! And by the way, Janey, I will read that link of BBC later Bye
