       Ein sehr alberner deutscher Witz
       By: Alharacas Date: June 9, 2019, 3:12 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Eine französische Austauschstudentin bemerkt in Deutschland, daß
       ihr ungewöhnlich viele Haare ausfallen. Eine deutsche Freundin
       rät ihr, in die Apotheke zu gehen und sich dort beraten zu
       lassen. Die Französin nickt und kommt mit einer Dose
       Penatencreme wieder. Die Deutsche staunt und fragt, was sie denn
       zum Apotheker gesagt habe. Die Französin antwortet "Daß isch
       'abe 'aarschwund, natürlisch".
       Let me know if you'd like me to explain.  :D

       Interesting.  I took German in high school and college, but have
       not studied it since 1983.  There were too many words that I had
       either not learned or forgotten for me to really understand it,
       but I understood enough words to get the basic form of it and
       know it was a joke.  (I put it into Google translate, so I get
       the gist of the joke but not the punchline because Google does
       not translate äarschwund.)
       What is aarschwund?

       Here on the same line a French joke, this time the French guy
       must speak English in order to get a job.
       Trois personnes sont convoquées pour un entretien d'embauche en
       Angleterre.
       Arrivés au test d'anglais, le recruteur leur dit: "Faites une
       phrase avec les 3 mots suivants : green, pink, yellow."
       C'est d'abord le Belge qui se lance :
       "I wake up in the morning, I eat a yellow banana, a green pepper
       and in the evening I watch the Pink Panther on TV".
       C'est ensuite au tour de l'Allemand :
       "I wake up in the morning, I see the yellow sun,the green grass
       and I think to myself: I hope it will be a pink day".
       Enfin, le Français s'avance et dit:
       "I wake up in ze mornink, I hear ze phone:
       "green.....green...green... "
       I pink up ze phone and I say "Yellow?"...
       @ Susan, no problem for Google translate on this joke.

       [member=32]Susan[/member] - it's an extremely bad pun on
       "Haarschwund" (disappearing hair) and "A-r-sch wund" (sore
       a-r-s-e)
       That's why the French girl got handed Penatencreme, which is a
       brand name and a German household word for the kind of ointment
       you put on your baby's bottom.
       @Sofia - thanks for making me feel better about this terrible
       joke of mine.  :D

       Just a couple of things I'm not quite sure about, Sofia:
       Tre franchesi una coppia - a couple? Did I get that right?
       And one, two, three Germans - the Germans never change? Is that
       it?

       Susan,
       It‘s really easy because the words are so close to English:
       Das Haar (hair)
       der Schwund (disappearing/loss).....I guess that one isn‘t that
       close
       der Arsch: a s s
       Der Wund: wound, sore.
       So, you can imagine with a French accent how it possibly
       sounding. Haarschwund would be like Haar(hair) and Schwund)
       disappearing, like Alharacas said.
       Word to the wise: avoid google-translate. It is horrible and
       gives terrible translations. Same goes for iTranslate, that one
       you hear advertised on YouTube all the time. Terrible.
       Like Alharacas said, Penatemcreme is just an ointment for sores
       and wounds or babies bottoms.
       Arsch is one of the most commonly used words in German. I think
       I‘ve hear it thousands of times. Where I stay in Thüringen,
       outside the main town of Neustadt an der Ora, they call the area
       „am Arsch der Welt“, at the end of the earth, out in the
       boondocks. But, that’s pretty exaggerated. It‘s not like Kansas
       or Iowa where you can drive 3 hours and not even see a gas
       station and pass maybe one car. That’s what I‘d call really
       being am Arsch der Welt.
       As to ointment you get at the Apotheke, (pharmacy), my mom likes
       Kytta cream, or I guess it‘s an ointment. It‘s great for
       arthritis, and joint pain and it made from Beinwell, what’s
       called „comfrey“  in English, a word I had never heard in my
       life (but, of course my mom knows it).

       That's how I understood it. Not far from the truth, either,
       according to this article:

       Here's one I remembered. Sorry if you've already heard it.

       That reminds me of an experience a German friend had when he was
       teaching German in France.
       He asked one of his students, a young French woman who'd just
       returned from a language exchange trip to Berlin, for her
       impression of the city, and was rather perplexed by the answer.
       He couldn't work out why she was so amused at the large number
       of clocks there were on the streets of Berlin.
       'Viele Uhren?'
       Yes, says the student. Apparently they were quiet shameless.
       Plying their trade openly on every street corner.

       That‘s nothing compared to what a gay male friend of mine (age
       74) told me once, which I thought was a bit surprising. He had
       had 1,000 different sex partners over a 10 year period in the
       70s to 80s. And 3-ways? How about 8 ways? Much more common.
       Another friend of mine, who died last year of a heart attach at
       age 54, said his numbers of sex contacts were „at least 500 or
       more, who knows? 500 is conservative.“
       I‘ve heard some gay men report around 2,500 different sex
       partners over a 10 year period in San Francisco.
