LOL

Wasn't Greece available?

A good friend of mine, and my brother, married a German woman while there in the Army and brought her home to the states. Black serviceman with German army bride--common profile.

We got tired of her always whining about how inferior the States was to German, but never said anything.

Until one night we were over there and my brother brought two kids he was sitting for his single mom neighbor. One of the gave our buddy some lip and Bruce whacked her bottom and told her to chill out. Which she did.

The German gal immediately glared at him and said, "In Germany we do not strike our children."

My brother said, "Yeah well in America we don't gas our Jews."

Last time either of spoke to her for a month, but it was worth the laugh.

When I lived in Germany the second time, my son was three. Our friends were quite adamant that as long as he was sleeping, we could leave him home alone to attend their parties.

The comments on that article are hilarious. "Take my advice, I'm not using it!" lol

Gee, that Kuzarbeit sounds ingenious. Almost like temp and migrant workers drawing unemployment between bouts of working.

Oh, wait, that was the USA in the Seventies.

I hear Germany is out of the recession. Some good news.
