Capital
Fred was saying his prayers as his father passed by his bedroom door.
"God bless Mommy, and God bless Daddy, and please make Hamburg the capital of Germany."
"Fred," said his father, "Why do you want Hamburg to be the capital of Germany?"
"Because that's what I wrote in my geography test!"
Zwei alte Damen und ein Kondom!
Zwei alte Damen sitzen auf einer Parkbank und rauchen ihre Zigaretten, als es plötzlich zu regnen beginnt. Die erste alte Dame holt ein Kondom heraus, zieht es über ihre Zigarette und raucht weiter. Die zweite alte Dame fragt ganz erstaunt: "Was ist das?" Die erste alte Dame antwortet: "Das ist ein Kondom." Zweite alte Dame: "Wo kann ich eins kaufen?" Erste alte Dame: "In der Apotheke." Also macht sie sich auf den Weg zur Apotheke, um sich eine Packung zu besorgen. Sie geht in die Apotheke und bittet den Apotheker um eine Packung Kondome. Der Apotheker ist ziemlich verwundert über die Anfrage, weil sie ja schon über 80 Jahre alt ist. Er fragt sie: "Welche Größe?" Und sie antwortet: "Oh, das ist mir egal, solange es einem Kamel passt – Äh, ich meine über eine Camel passt."
Bit disappointed with the last QA as I've had three German girlfriends in my youth. Are Heidi Klum and Claudia Schiffer not German then?

Szymon - an English view of the rest of the human race :D
A Song of Patriotic Prejudice
by Flanders & Swan
The English, the English, the English are best
I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest.
The rottenest bits of these islands of ours
We've left in the hands of three unfriendly powers
Examine the Irishman, Welshman or Scot
You'll find he's a stinker, as likely as not.
The Scotsman is mean, as we're all well aware
And bony and blotchy and covered with hair
He eats salted porridge, he works all the day
And he hasn't got bishops to show him the way!
The English, the English, the English are best
I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest.
The Irishman now our contempt is beneath
He sleeps in his boots and he lies through his teeth
He blows up policemen, or so I have heard
And blames it on Cromwell and William the Third!
The English are noble, the English are nice,
And worth any other at double the price
The Welshman's dishonest and cheats when he can
And little and dark, more like monkey than man
He works underground with a lamp in his hat
And he sings far too loud, far too often, and flat!
And crossing the Channel, one cannot say much
Of French and the Spanish, the Danish or Dutch
The Germans are German, the Russians are Red,
And the Greeks and Italians eat garlic in bed!
The English are moral, the English are good
And clever and modest and misunderstood.
And all the world over, each nation's the same
They've simply no notion of playing the game
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won
And they practice beforehand which ruins the fun!
The English, the English, the English are best
So up with the English and down with the rest.
It's not that they're wicked or naturally bad
It's knowing they're foreign that makes them so mad!

That's because you're Polish or German or just not English. Generally Scots don't really like the English because of ... well the time between when the Romans left and the recent referendum.

Scots are the one tribe about whom the stereotypes are mainly true, if I may judge by the one I usually end up sitting next to on the 'bus Monday evenings en route home.
The full version of "The English are best"
Congratulations sir.

I am aware of that ;) One of the first things I and Leon discussed when I arrived was the Scottish referendum and the historical inaccuracies in Brave Heart :D
Excellent! Nice to see Leon is performing his cultural duties.
Funnily enough when my mother was in Paris, saying she was "Ecosse" evoked a totally different reaction to "Anglais." :-\

Yes, he does a very good job explaining British culture and politics to me.
There is sympathy for the Scots on the continent, especially since Brave Heart.
Many years ago, at the height of the "Lamb War," two carloads of us, a mix of Scots and Norwegians, went on holiday to the South of France. On a trip to the Camargue we arrived at the Bac du Sauvage chain ferry, which was on the opposite bank. No amount of waiting and waving persuaded the ferry to come pick us up so we turned the cars to head back the way we came. The moment the Scottish and Norwegian stickers on the rear of the cars were visible the ferry chugged it's way to us.
Isn't Poland the Belgium of the East - a place for Germans to march through on their way to invade somewhere else?
An American colleague remarked to a Polish one a while ago that it was amazing that Poland existed at all, being squashed between two aggressive superpowers. The Pole, who knew more history, and I had to point out that the real wonder was that Germany had ever got a seat at the grown-ups' table, being stuck for most of its own history between two more consistently aggressive superpowers like Poland and France, and to this day remaining seriously divided.
Just noticed your side bar comment FK!
