Jokes What’s more difficult to translate than a joke? Two jokes! If there is one thing that is difficult to translate, it's jokes. Although, they can provide a nice five-minute break.

Default ein deutscher Witz
In der Stewardessenprüfung wird die folgende Frage gestellt: Sie stürzen ab und retten sich mit zwanzig Männern auf eine einsame Insel. Was tun Sie?

Die Engländerin: "Ich bringe mich um!"
Die Deutsche: "Ich appelliere an deren Ehre!"
Die Französin: "Wo ist das Problem?"

Fabelhaft, Frank.

It took me a while because my German is so rusty but I got it. What would a Dutch stewardess say?

Joel,


The Dutch are reputed to be tight on money, and jokes usually refer to that.
On the other hand, Dutch women are often tall, blond and classy.
So we have a difficult question here !
It depends on several things ...
are these men as good looking as you and I ?

Ich glaube wir werden das nie wissen !... (I guess we’ll never know)

Frank,

Tall, blond, and classy is only eye candy for this very married man but the Dutch are tight? In the US we think of the Scots as penny pinchers.

Scots are worse in this sense that their women are not tall and blond and classy...

I am Belgian and live about 8 miles from the Dutch border,
and we have loads of jokes on them, and they on us
(we are supposedly DUMB, now you can't believe that, right!)

the newest one I heard on the Dutch being cheap :

Why do the Dutch crawl on their knees at the supermarket ?
They're looking for the lowest prices !

I could never believe Belgians are dumb. I have heard that they don't know how to obey the traffic laws.

Now here is a joke I really like.

A man goes to the psychiatrist completely painted gold. The psychiatrist says, "Your condition is easily treatable. It's simply a gilt complex."

I lived in Belgium for 6 years and love the Belgians. Honest, funny, friendly, love to go for a beer or two (like us Germans) and enjoy life.

Best food in Europe (honestly, I've been around).

Cheers,
Mario

Süße Auslieferung,

Joel
