Aw jeez, we're sorry Dieter. And they say Germans can't laugh at themselves…wait …come back! we love you in our unsophisticated, ham-handed way! Please, we'll sit around the piano and sing: 'Falling in love again, never wanted to, what am I to do, I can't help it…' Love you Marlene!

This has been my favorite thread in such a long time. An efficient and prompt one, too.

Two funny stories about my husband's German relatives when we were traveling in Germany:

One of them (in her 40's) told us she could never live in the US because of what we did to the American Indians!!!

Another one (in her 70's) told us that German never should have "gone to war with the Jews" because it made the whole world hate them.

I met a German a woman a few years ago who told me this: "German men . . . " eye roll, "they would rather eat chocolate than have orgasms!"

Haha! I have no idea what she was talking about but it was hilarious. She said it with deep scorn in her voice.

I came up behind her and asked her what was wrong. Without turning around, she said: "Charles Boyer has died". I couldn't help it; I laughed, as teenagers do. She rose up to her full 5'2" and whirled around and round-house slapped me in the face so hard, I fell backward into the dirt. Lesson learned. Germans love their french romantic movie stars and they will hit you if you laugh at them.

I am sorry you got slapped but I love this story!

Please tell me this isn't only a German thing.

My husband is French, so there is a bit of bias, but what he says about our German friends sounds exactly like what has already been described. Germans are thrifty (to a fault often), a bit dry (not too funny), athletic, pushy/proactive, super organized (in clothes, homes, work, etc) and rigid. Germans are also nice people, but very matter of fact. Most EU countries have a bit of chauvinism, until you get as north as the Scandanavian countries.

Please pity me: I am three quarters German and one quarter Swedish. Constant internal conflicts
