I have a friend who teaches Germanic languages.

I asked him if he likes those dots that go over certain vowels.

He replied, "Umm, lots!"

My grandad used to say "If it wasn't for me, you'd all be speaking German right now" Lovely man, terribly bad foreign language teacher.

No idea why the school hired him.

Why is it called Windows 10 instead of Windows 9?

Microsoft didn't want to confuse the Germans when they asked for Windows Nein.

Then he shoots into his invisible conversation mode

G1: I would like to buy a Windows 9.

G2: You mean Windows 10?

G1: Nein, Windows 9.

G2: 9?

G1: 9.

G2: Then what would you like?

G1: . . .

*Note: If this was all in one language the mix up probably wouldn't happen, but i wanted to share a nice little chuckle.

Cock and sperm joke for kids

(This joke just deserved a more catchy title, sorry for the mess.)

Every Tuesday growing up, we had German sausages and sauerkraut for dinner - my dad's favorite. Since I can remember, my dad has told this joke and never misses a chance telling it till this day:

"You know kids, it's not the sausage that makes you fat, it's the sauce!"

Both my younger sister and l looked at eachother, rolled our eyes and thought - why is he telling this joke every single time.. it doesnt make sense! There is no sauce here! Only fried sausages, sauerkraut and potatoes. In fact, where is the goddamn sauce, we could need it. This dish is dry as shit! My poor mom shrugged her shoulders, seemingly just as confused.

When i was about 11-12, I caught up on my dad's hinting and eye contact after the punch line.. he wanted me to get the joke so bad at this point lol. I had a moment, as they say. Oh... OOHH. BOOM. Omg the "SAUCE"!! From the sausage.. makes some people fat.. as in pregnant.. Mind. Blown.

My sister, around 8 at that time, had a few hundred more sausage dinners to "ketchup" ;) I'm not doing so bad myself, 'ey?

Edit: For the slow people out there, this joke is about sausage=penis, sauce=sperm and getting fat=pregnant. Did you have your moment too?? Admittingly, the joke works better in my native language, but you get the idea.

A pair of Grandpa's favorites

When teaching us spelling that you didn't pronounce the last B in Bomb. "why not Grandpa?" "It's silent, like the silent P in swimming." He got me and my younger sisters in turn.

also, he spoke fluent French and German and would claim that "I can speak every language except Greek"

"Say something in Russian."

"That's Greek to me"
