Zee Germans

Some fun tidbits about the Deutsche that I picked up at age eight:

The children's sections of the shoestores have slides, dude. Slides.
Women leave their babies outside in strollers when at the butchers'--but bring their little dogs in.
Don't be fooled by the outside of Neuschwanstein. It's not that great on the inside. And its highest turret does not, repeat not, have a spinning wheel.
In summer, the mustardfields smell like heaven to roly-poly kids.
I can only assume that the making of doll furniture is a national pasttime.
Their ice cream is appalling.
Everything runs like clockwork because everything is run on clocks.
If you are ever in the restaurant by the church which hid the old WWII nuclear experiments plant, have the french fries.
