      I once worked with a couple of Germans when they were hired to deploy a new web site for the company I worked for.

      They were the rudest pair I have come across and the project did not go well.

      At one point the rudest of the two started banging his fists on the table and shouted..

      'Ve must have 400megabits of bandvidth.' but all I could offer was a soggy 10mb half duplex connection. He wasn't impressed.

      Anyway, on his last day, he caught me doing the John Cleese silly walk (thought he wasn't looking) and we never saw him again.

      Looking back, maybe I was ruder than them.

        Ah! You see, to a German, a joke is no laughing matter.
