I have no problems with your German, Ron, but Ted's 'kurzsclusse' was a tough task to find out until I got the idea that the automatic translation program has translated 'shorts' with the German word for 'short circuits'. I'm still not sure about 'lose' though but my best guess is that once more the programme is at fault and has tranlated 'lots' (in the sense of 'many') as if if the context would be a lottery. 'Das Los' in the plural is 'Lose' and if it is spelled 'lose' it means 'loose'.

So what's actually there reads (retranlated):

Germans eat loose sausages and wear stupid leathern short-circuits.
