The Germans do it better!

Cars, beer, cameras, Heckler & Koch, ME 262,the movie "Das Boot", the autobahn.

First: Contact lenses, the globe, printing press, X rays, the telescope and Levi Strauss;V2 rockets,

Same thing in tennis, motor racing, gliding, invading Poland and skiing.

Then there's music:Haydn, Brahms, Handel, Beethoven, Bach and Nena's 99 Red Balloons.

And I hear the hookers in the Reeperbahn in Hamburg are the best!!

Per Franklyn Wood:

"It ought to be explained that German whores are in a class apart. Without doubt they are the finest looking girls of their species to be found anywhere. each one walks in the proud manner of a graduate of the Lucy Clayton School of Modelling and Fashion. they are classy, expensive dressers wearing nothing but the latest fashion in the way its designer visualized it should be worn and displaying the gear to its utmost sexiness. Buying a German whore is like buying a living Vogue fashion plate. So the conversation at the bar goes:

"Is she on the game?"

"She can't be, never."

"I'll bet she is, she wouldn't be here if she weren't".

"Bollocks, look at the gear she's wearing, and that bloody hair-do has cost a week's wages.

"Well, ask her. Hold your glass up and wave it at her, if she comes over, she's on the game, if she doesn't, she isn't and you were only bding sociable".

A little trivia question does anyone know why German optics were the only real good optic until recently?

Swarovski and Kahles are Austrian. You'd have to ask them whether or not they'd be flattered to be "mistaken for Germans".

Wusthof Trident, J A Henckel.

For a country with such a wonderful tradition of classical music, their folk music really stinks!

Forget the lenses for a bit, will you!!

Lets talk about the German whores. Where are the good ones and how much? By the hour or by the deed or what? Just for triava's sake, of course. You never know when you might be asked such a question in Trivial Persuit.

With the wrong lenses it doesn't matter what she looks like. Or is that the right lenses? I forgot.

I wonder why that makes a difference tho. If the machine is set to do the best it can, I would think it would be more consistant than hand ground.

Ah yes Rommel another one of the best military minds of the last century. Lucky for us Hitler chained him up with his command of Germany's coastal defenses.

I have little doubt that if he had been at the front lines on June 6, and had the authority to order the Panzer groups forward ect, that Operation Overlord may have failed!

The Germans are amazingly good at making things. I have never been disapointed by a German product, at least that I remember.

Heidi Klum comes to mind. I know, she's not a whore. . . is she?
I feel a new thrill coming on. . .
