o'humor - Speaking German in Texas

From: gale Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2009

 

 Near Fredericksburg, Texas, where there is a large German-speaking

 population, a farmer walking down a country road notices a man

 drinking from his pond with his hand.

 

 The farmer shouted: "Trink das wasser nicht.  Die kuhen haben dahin gesheissen."

  

 Which means: 'Don't drink the water, the cows have pooped in it.'

 

 The man shouted back: "I'm from New York and just down here

 campaigning for Obama's health care plan, I can't understand you. 

 Please speak in English."

 

The farmer replied: "Use two hands, you'll get more."
