The wife walks into a wine shop. "What wine would you recommend for the 10th wedding anniversary?"
"It all depends. Do you want to celebrate the time you spent together or do you want to get back at him?"

"Hey Karen, guess what, your husband is telling everyone he lives a dog's life at home."
"Well, that's true. He comes into the house with dirty feet, makes himself comfortable in front of the stove and waits for dinner."

Perhaps you could condense your jokes so they are 5 to a post?

Yes, I thought so too. Only then someone will come forward again and say that they don't find all 5 great (acceptable/borderline/good/notable/dumb). It's already hard enough for me to take cultural differences and language into account - not every joke is understood in the same way everywhere in context, or I simply make translation mistakes ;-)

After reading about German language on Bored Panda I can understand why you have difficulty translating :)) it’s rather cute, loved the hand shoes for gloves.

That‘s a funny „pandiscussion“ about the German language. I like that when you can amuse yourself about something like that and laugh together - every language has its peculiarities and it does NOT exist to make someone's (stranger's) life more difficult or to separate yourself, even if learning it seems difficult.

Krankenhaus and Handy are my favourite German words.

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

The internationally best-known German word is "Autobahn". This is simply because we do not have a general speed limit on „Autobahnen“ and some people like to use this to drive a Ferrari or Vyron (at night, when there is little traffic) to its top speed. For various reasons, however, people have been working for years to limit this speed because traffic density has increased considerably in recent decades. One reason is also that at over 300km/h, there is not much left of the cars (and their drivers) in the event of a sudden obstacle.
