Okay, both of you are guilty of laughing during German u-boat speech. This is not a crime, nor is it immature, but it is a sin.

Your pennance is to watch the 5-hour version of Das Boot every day for a week.

And write 100 times: "Nothing German is ever funny!"

Well, German Television execs. contracted with Monty Python to do a German Language version of their show, which they did, believe it or not. John Cleese said the Germans said, "We have no sense of humor of our own, but we understand you do..."

They also did a skit in which the Brits used a secret weapon called "The Joke" which was so funny it caused any who heard it to die laughing. The Germans attempted their own version--which proved completely ineffective.

So Steve, you may be right. Still, fart. Makes me laugh. I thought I was above such things.

Shortest book ever written: The Complete Compendium Of German Humor.

Seriously though, the Germans do have a wonderful sense of humor.

Just watch these:

Just as I suspected. Do these beer fahrts present a threat to our national security?
