hmmmmm they have a very good sense of humor, but as non germans we don't
see it much. having worked and vactioned in Germany and with a few
native German friends over there i can positivly say there is an
excellent sense of humor in Deutschland, it's sometimes just a bit more
complex and subtile to the non-German. just look at some of the
advertisements and you'll see they have a bit of a sideways twist to
them. I still love the ice cream commercials. Having watched childrens
programming I believe you can say they start young ;-)
