Wonder if they mentioned-

1. Beer is drunk cool, not cold as in the U.S., and with a touch of cola (the locals called it "cola-schoppen"). Germans generally don't care for obnoxious drunks (only saw one obnoxious Deutscher the whole time I was in Germany). Actually met a German who liked Miller beer!
2. "Eis" isn't ice, but ice cream.
3. Mowing the lawn, yard work, making noise on Sunday is verboten.
4. Never challenge a German to a schnapps or jagermeister drinking contest.
5. HBO makes RTL look tame (at least in the '80 when I was there).
6. Avoid AFN-TV commercials at all cost, or hanging out with Ami's.
7. Klaus & Klaus were heavily influenced by the writings of Skybird.
8. German military can drink in bars in fatigues (at least local gasthauses).
9. Real men drink meter biers!
10. Jagerschnitzel mit pomme frits- food of the gods?

Yours, Mike
