Q: How many Germans does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A: One. We’re very efficient and don’t have much of a sense of humor.

Based on my coworker’s Mercedes, I would guess the answer is three:

One to make a slightly brighter lightbulb

One to create a computer just to control the one lightbulb

And one more to deny the warranty when it breaks faster than a normal lightbulb

There is a French German joke.

Why are French streets lined with trees?

Because the Germans like to march in the shade.

As someone who has spent much of the last twenty years hanging out with a 1st generation German- Australian....I can vouch for the fact that Australia is clearly infectious to the German Meme.

I love QI - one of my absolute favorites. I do miss Mr. Fry, but Sandy Toksvig is capable of handling it.

I love Qi with Sandy or Stephen.

But I love Stephen for loads of other stuff he’s done.

His mind is amazing., when he talks, the people listen.

Stephen Fry on the Catholic Church, etc...

Very true.

My ‘vacation’ last year was time away from work recovering from cancer (surgery and chemo) which directly relates to this year’s vacation - almost seven month’s worth now...

That’s a great joke.

Yup. So much more vacation time.

Remind me again why I didn’t just stay at the Nürburgring and find something to do over there?
