I'd like to try the McDonalds one next time I'm at the drive-thru, however I'm afraid I'll crack up if the employee says no we don't have a half dozen nuggets. And that is wrong.
There used to be a show (dont know if they still have it) called America's Dumbest Criminals and the last one mentioned was on the show a couple of times.
Some years ago someone asked me something like "Is Independence Day (actually SHE meant Oct 3 - Tag der deutschen Einheit in Germany) always on a Saturday? Hm...
Jovi, you guys have independance day? You celebrate it on Oct. 3? Don't you know it's July 4? Who was it that said July 4th wasn't the day we kicked your @$$, it was when we said we would kick your @$$ ?
