The German sense of humour has always defeated the rest of Europe. Not, that is, in the Monty Python Lethal Joke sense defeated, but.
I'm tempted to turn this into a thread discussing German attempts at humour. Or Vorsprung durch Fassungslosigkeit as they might call it.
Two Microsoft programmers meet each other in the park. One has a new bicycle with him. The other one asks him, "Where'd you get the bike?".
"It was free.".
"Really? Tell me about it."
"I was walking through the park yesterday. Suddenly a woman riding a bicycle comes by. She gets off the bike, takes off her clothes and tells me I can have anything I want."
Says the other: "Good choice. Her clothes would never have fit you."
