Rollo	Strange expressions.. (112* d)	RE: Strange expressions..	06 Jun 01
Steve, there is a nice story about "Gruess Gott", which only the southerners say, by the way. Originally it was something like "greetings in the name of god", but was shortened a bit over the years... Now a man entered an elevator going up in a skyscraper, and a priest was inside. Behaving in good manners, the man greeted the priest with "Gruess Gott". Now, literally this means "Give God my greetings". And so the priest answered: "Sorry, I am not planning to go so far upstairs..."
