not funny if you speak german.
Hi -
Indeed. "Wanken" means to totter, to sway.
Y'all thinking of "wichsen".
The Germans get a big kick out of the "Irish Mist". You see, "Mist" in German is manure...

Not as funny as the knickknack store in Seattle that calls itself "Das Gift Haus," but still.
the knickknack store in Seattle that calls itself "Das Gift Haus,"
!!!! I know where I'm doing _my_ Xmas shopping!
Rob Lyman: You have got to be kidding. No, apparently you aren't.
Interestingly, that's not the one I had in mind, indicating that there's more than one. And in fact, googling confirms that they're all over the country!
Maybe das Gift Haus imports its knickknacks from China.
Sorry, but "Das Gift Haus" is the funniest thing I have seen in ages. Thanks!
