Today is Monday, April 22, 2012. My stats today: 10 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes of lifting weights and 51 minutes of walking = 2.7 miles for an April total of 44.9 miles. My weight was 161.8 pounds.
Inspiring QUOTE from OUR IOWA magazine. "If common sense is so common, why are there so many people without it?"
My THOUGHTS today are on Part III on how to piss off a German.
Tactic #5: Say you don't like asparagus, especially if it's white.
Germans are absolutely, uncontrollably cuckoo-crazy about asparagus, especially if it's white, not the green stuff. From the end of April to the end of June they eat literally eat nothing else, day and night, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Even public toilets smell of the white stuff. Germans would sell their own grandmothers to get a hold of some white asparagus (also known as "White Gold"). So if you are invited for dinner during asparagus season, and if you advise your host that you are not a fan of the white stuff it will guarantee you instant enmity, if not a good kicking and deportation to Auschwitz.
Tactic #6: Recycle erroneously.
Germans recycle just about everything. They have different colored bins for plastic, tin, food, and large green, white, and brown bins for colored glass bottles. To really piss off a German go to one of these bins with a bag of different colored bottles and dump them in the wrong bin. Then you'll have old men with sticks and pony-tailed schoolgirls chasing you and shaking their fists at your stupidity and ignorance. v
HUMOR for today: A guy named George Grosz said this about Germans. "Germans are a fine people but quick to catch the disease of anti-humanity. I think it's because of their poor elimination. Germany is headquarters for constipation."
