German Jokes

Who says Germans have no sense of humor?

"Herr Ober der Kaffee war kalt. Gut, dass sie mir das sagen." "Eiskaffe kostet naemlich 1,50 mehr."

Ein zum Tode Verurteilter wird morgens um sechs Uhr geweckt.
"Haben Sie noch einen Wunsch?"
"Ja, ich moechte eine Tasse Kaffee trinken."
"Milch und Zucker?"
"Zucker??! - Mann sind Sie Wahnsinnig? Ich bin Diabetiker!!"

"Two Martinis, bitte."
"Dry?"
"Nein, I said TWO!"

Die Eltern von zwei Schulfreunden unterhalten sich. "Weiss Ihr Sohn schon, was er mal werden will?"
"Oh ja, er will mal Arzt werden."
"Ach, da hat er sich aber einen schwierigen Beruf ausgewaehlt! Bereitet er sich denn schon darauf vor?"
"Und wie! Er sammelt alte Zeitschriften fuer sein Wartezimmer."

A man decided to visit his brother who was stationed in
Germany. He assumed that most Germans would speak English.
But found that many people spoke only their native tongue
- including the ticket inspector on the train.
He punched the mans ticket, then chatted cordially for a bit,
making gestures like a windmill. The man simply nodded from
time to time to show him that he was interested. When the
ticket inspector had gone, an American woman in the
compartment leaned forward and asked if he spoke German.

"No," he confessed.

"Then that explains," she said, "why you didn't bat an eyelid
when he told you that you were on the wrong train."
