2. They also run a driver's ed school near me

I suspect that in the meantime, they know their buses are popular object for English-speaking tourists that encounter them along the streets of Europe, and why!

It can work the other way around, too. Shortly after World War Two, when Germany was in a bad way, some well-meaning Americans sent Christmas presents labelled "Gift" - not knowing that "Gift" means poison in German.

7. I know

We had a twee little gift shop boutique in Seattle called "Das Gifthaus" It always made me giggle. I think they finally cottoned on or went out of business.

12. German tourists probably streamed in out of sheer curiosity

Especially if the shop owner offered free rubber gloves at the entrance.
