We used to have a German driver working at our place, everyone called him Herman (real name Philip) after a couple of months he asked whey he was called Herman, he was told because he was Herman the German ... he asked that he be called Philip in future ... so it's true they really don't have a sense of humour!
Yeah Billy, that was a very harmless and playful joke.... Just imagine my country was called Jerkoffy. Than you would have called your driver ‚Jerry‘. Right?
You keep trying to persuade us, Jez, but here is some proof... Of my genetic archaic teutonic identity, and of the fact that there is at least one more German with a little humor (my barkeeper/brewer; a former cartoonist). He scetched this picture of me and my parents - whom he had never met at the time...
The light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up.. He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, the policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk, where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects. The policeman said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do 'bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life 'license plate holder, the' Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally....I assumed you had stolen the car."

The bride’s name is Molly, she’s 5’4” about 8 stone and quite pretty, has her own income and is a really good cook. Let me know if you're interested.
