Deadly Strawberries
Background information: Strawberries and Earthquakes are very similar in German (Erdbeeren, Erdbeben). Today at school, some of my classmates did a presentation on Apocalypses. They presented lots of information, including many predictions of Apocalypses, three by Martin Luther. They were reading from a powerpoint presentation projected on the wall. One slide read "Some signs of Apocalypses are tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes". The girl reading said "Some signs of Apocalypses are tsunamis, strawberries, and volcanoes." The entire class burst out laughing. These Germans!

Can you tell us more about the food?
ReplyDeleteAre you sure she did not say "Salamis, Erbeeren, und Gurkan"?

Very funny dad, but you spell it 'Gurken'.
ReplyDeleteWe agree with the girl speaking- strawberries are dangerous and terrifying!
