Is still boggled by the fact that in this country, if you give somebody your account number and your bank's routing number they can deduct funds from your account.

(Just came up in the context of actual work.)

Grace and I wrote this as a way of celebrating the characteristic features of the local dialect. (And Faßnacht)

Es waren in Konstanz zwei Blätzle
Die saßen zusammen am Plätzle.
Sie bestellten Glühwein,
Und Bockwurst von Schwein,
Und dazu ein´ groß´ Haufen Spätzle.

There once were (in Konstanz) two Blätzle
(those Faßnacht-people dressed like minimalistic medieval chickens)
Sitting together in the
Plätzle (small square)
They ordered
Glühwein
And Wurst (from a swine)
And also a whole heap of
Spätzle.

(Glühwein: Mulled wine. Spätzle: those odd egg-noodly things.)
