No, you can't compare a politician's intelligence to a piece of toast.

[Dr. Strange]

So says Germany.

German free speech: ACAB is A-OK, but A-hole is a no-no

A regional court has declared that a politician's intelligence cannot be compared to that of a piece of toast. Free speech is a confusing concept in Germany, where speaking too freely might cost over 2,000 euros.

Glad they got that settled.

1. How about a cabbage?

Or perhaps a rutabaga?

2. Cabbage, Yes

But you clearly went too far with rutabaga! You should know better!

[Dr. Strange]

3. That's equivalent to casting asparagus on someone's character.

So, you know, don't do it.

[malthaussen]

4. Next you'll be telling me I can't call someone a Potato Head.

Or potatoe head, if I am referring to Mr Quayle.

5. Lettuce not get carried away here! nt

[malthaussen]

6. No one has the right to squash my free speech!

I'll appeal the decision! It will be a turnip for the ages!

[pinboy3niner]

7. It takes some big cactus pears to be so cocksure of oneself! nt

[malthaussen]

8. I've always bean full of beans...

... among other things. But I am determined there will be no appeasement on this issue.

[pinboy3niner]

9. I know. Your odor precedes you and leaves no doubt.

[malthaussen]

10. The Odor of Sanctity is like that.

What can I say? I don't believe in hiding my light under a bushel.

-- Mal

[pinboy3niner]

11. Bushel? A-tisket a-tasket, a green and yellow basket case more like it.

[malthaussen]

12. Better than a hogshead, though.

But Mr Trump has appropriated all of those.
