Pete's BLOG-Day 26,451. Part II - How to piss off a German.

Today is Saturday, April 20, 2013. My stats today: 10 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes on the ball and 50 minutes of walking = 2.7 miles for a an April total of 42.2 miles. My weight was 161.4 pounds.

Inspiring QUOTE from OUR IOWA magazine: "A man is known by the company he avoids."

My THOUGHTS today are on a couple more ways to piss off a German.

Tactic #3: Use fancy English words they don't understand.
Most Germans speak very good English, which makes them slightly smug, especially when only 3 non-natives in the history of the world have ever been able to master German. Take advantage of English's arcane vocabulary by sprinkling words like "circumbilivagination" and "epalpebrate" throughout the conversation as if they were commonplace. This method is guaranteed to replace the smugness on your German friend's face.

Tactic #4: Urinate standing up.
This one is for men (obviously) and is based on a subtle cultural anomaly in Germany where men tend to pee sitting down. Men who do this are called sitzpinklers and those who stand up are called stehpinklers - they have the most critics - mostly females. So in order to be ultra-annoying, you need only (literally) stand up for your male rights

I'll have two more tomorrow.
