SPEAKING GERMAN IN TEXAS
In Texas there is a town called New Braunfels , where there is a large
German-speaking population. One day, a local rancher driving down a
country road noticed a man using his hand to drink water from the
rancher's stock pond. The rancher rolled down the window and shouted:
"Sehr angenehm! Trink das Wasser nicht. Die kuehe haben darein
geschissen." Which means: "Glad to meet you! Don't drink the water, the
cows have shit 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 rancher replied: "Use both hands."
That's Texas for ya!
