Protest against Clarkson's Nazi comments

[swek]

^^ And I thought we had it bad because the traditional German season's greetings "Frohe Weihnachten" is slowly transforming into Merry Christmas, but the War on Christmas is out of control. Not using Christmas because it might offend someone takes the cake.

And yes, like some people said before. Nobody over here ever heard of this Clarkson guy and there is certainly no outrage.

Neither of us could remember the exact code, and neither of us could be bothered trudging out to the car to retrieve it, so we tried to see if we could get away without it.
Hardly! This being Germany, everything must be done right! You must give the lady the postcode! We tried explaining that it was in the car, but....
"You Must Give Me Ze Postcode!"
"No, we don't remember it!"
"You Vill Give Me Ze Postcode!"
At this point my father turns to me and exclaims...
"You vill give me ze postcode or you vill be shot!"

We ended up having to give the lady the postcode, and we got the our stuff in the end, but boy was that lady pissed after that!

Your father deserves a beer!
