Speaking German in Texas
In Texas, there is a town called New Braunfels, where there is a large
German-speaking population.
One day, a local rancher driving down a country road noticed a man
using his hand to drink water from the rancher's stock pond.
The rancher rolled down the window and shouted: "Sehr angenehm! Trink
das Wasser nicht. Die Kuehe haben darein geschissen."
This means: “Glad to meet you! Don't drink the water. The cows have shit in it."
The man shouted back: "I'm from New York and just down here
campaigning for Biden's Presidential run. I can't understand you.
Please speak in English."
The rancher replied: "Use both hands."
