GERMANS NOT FUNNY!

      Last night, I watched an old Johnny Carson re-run and Bob Newhart was a guest and one of my favorite all time favorite comedians. They began talking about their heritage and Bob indicated he was three quarters Irish and one quarter German. 

       Newhart went on about how "Literal" the Germans are and gave the example with a little German accent. The Germans don't find it funny why we call a bald guy "Curly" or a 300 pound man "Tiny!"  I'm glad that I'm half Irish and one quarter each German and English. I'm glad that my Irish, at least with humor, over-rides the other half of me!
