Subject: RE: BS: Football World Cup 2006
Every good BS thread must have GWBush mentioned, so let me do it now (and then forget him for the duration of this thread):

One of our newspapers carries a series about what the fans of the different guest countries are being told (or warned about) before coming to Germany. It always makes me laugh about them and about us. Today we were informed about the warnings the US supporters get to prepare them for the hard life in Germany.

- not to wear a swimsuit in the Sauna
- not to be surprised that the locals consider violence in films as a good reason not to show them to children whereas they do not consider nakedness as a good reason to prevent children seeing the film
- not to lean on cars that do not belong to them
....
and
- not to show open support for Bush's politics unless they want a really nasty quarrel with the German they are talking to.

So don't forget: Never lean on the oven in the sauna with body parts not covered by a swimsuit even if you are asurprised by seeing several nonviolent bushes in the sauna.

Over to football
