Ha!

Just about the last joke I remember from 40 years ago:

A man walks into a shop. He asks the clerk, “You don’t have any meat?”
The clerk says, “No, here we don’t have any fish. The shop that doesn’t have any meat is across the street.”

I have a cousin (originally from Michigan) who lives in Hamburg. She used to talk about the Trabi’s when the wall came down. And how underpowered and overpolluting they were.

These days we talk about various different Germanic languages and dialects. I do not speak any German-based languages beyond the American dialect of English. But am curious about her perceptions of the various dialects. Including Pennsylvania, Texas and Kansas German. Since we have Swiss-German ancestry, it is also interesting to get her thoughts on some of the various Swiss-German dialects.
