Just saw it this morning:
An Amish Farmer is walking through his field when he sees a guy drinking from his pond, scooping it up with his hand.
The farmer says, "Trinken sie nicht das wasser, die kuhe unddie schweine haben in ihm geschissen." which means, "Don't drink the water, the pigs and cows shit in it."
The guy shouts back, "I'm a trump supporter and this is America. I don't understand your gibberish. Speak English, you moron."
The farmer says, "Use both hands. You'll get more."

(15,384 posts)First off I'm happy that even if the sentence wasn't 100% correct (if the other poster was right), I'm proud that my short time learning German on Duolingo before realizing what an insane language it is still allowed me to understand the farmer's speech.
Second...
A German is walking home after drinking at a pub, and nature calls. He can't wait so he goes ahead and walks over to a tree and starts peeing on it.
A woman walks by and sees what's going on and exclaims, "Gross!"
And the German replies, "Danke!"

I have this humorous language book for German, it teaches slang and everyday things a real person might say, but the funniest thing is just about every page has the disclaimer that even native speakers might not get this correct but everybody will probably understand what you mean.

And music on the lawn. A local Cajun band played and sang, while a neighbor complained: they could have at least hired some American musicians.
