Only a true German could take "having humor" so seriously, while missing the meaning of the post he's "correcting".

Don't take that personally - I'm part German too. And I've had my strange take on humor pointed out many times.

Pah - these jokes are pretty old. They have been chosen top 2 for five or six years now, but last year they elected a new and even better one:

Hans and Fritz are marching through a tidily planted shady alley somewhere in Paris,
when Fritz halted suddenly and shouted at Hans: "DU HASST DIEN SCHUE VERLOREN!"
(You has lost you're shoe)

It is "... hast Deine Schuhe...", and "you have lost your shoe".


Apart from that

If you had kept your silence, you would have stayed a philosopher.
