Saying it with this face. das_vaterland April 18 2010, 18:16:12 UTC

Jokes aren't confusing.

If they are good jokes. I can laugh at them.

Okay so there was this guy...and he was hunting in the woods. Keep in mind this guy is an american. And he hadn't had much luck and this bald eagle flew over head and he just couldn't resist so he shot it. And he was cooking it and the game warden came along and said: "ooh you're in real trouble now" And so he went to court. and he judge said: "Well this is a real bad thing you did but since you don't seem to have any kind of a recourd and this is your first time doing this I'm gonna let you off with a warning" and the guy said: "Gee thanks judge." And as he was leaving the judge said: "But I gotta aske you. What does a bald eagle taste like?" And the guy turned and said: "Eh sorta a cross between a spotted owl and a california condor."

This is his laughing face. das_vaterland April 21 2010, 03:35:37 UTC

[ he's never really paid much attention. ]

Well, it's true that Svizzera should have more fun, and Germany has a hard time getting jokes, and--

[ WAIT, COSA? ]

... W-what's wrong with Italian cars?

hyugahealer3 April 28 2010, 01:36:35 UTC

I-It's not that there's anything wrong with the cars...persay...more that...have you SEEN the way your people DRIVE?!?

pasta_amante April 28 2010, 01:57:58 UTC

[Is just glad there's nothing about him there.]

I don't even try to explain my neighbors anymore after living with Poland for so long, and having Mr. Russia and Mr. Germany invade me... And that's the least of it.

hyugahealer3 May 1 2010, 03:49:00 UTC

I see...apparently Mr. Bryson was not very impressed with Liechtenstein...

goldheart_toris May 3 2010, 02:35:23 UTC

Perhaps it also had to do with timing and customs...? Ah, if a nation had a bad economy at the time then they might not have been the most hospitable too!

Well did you hear about the problems they had with EuroDisney in France? People really couldn't grasp the concept of lines.

There's nothing wrong with the way we drive, ask my stupid little brother or any other that asked me for a ride If I didn't deny it, of course..

hyugahealer3 May 10 2010, 03:02:23 UTC

...My great uncle has been to Italy......and I didn't say there was anything wrong with how you drive...because you don't...Drive so much as...move...no offense or anything
