Quite. To an Angel the entire concept of an 'other' is hard to grasp. Even Kaworu is still new to most of it.

Also... Um. Update is now in the air.

I'm being medevaced to the hospital at Baghdad airport due to an infection in my foot that's gotten slightly out of hand. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to grab my laptop and write while I'm there. If not, it might be a bit. Sorry.

Get better!

Eh, don't force yourself.
 
Also, I see your attempt to come across as more funny! A German masquerading as a normal human with feelings! I have caught you! :V
The fact that it took a German to make a pun before an Englishman did so is not a step back from my heritage, my good sir, but one that puts yours on the back foot.

Instead of suggesting we all march in lockstep, I think it'd be best that you yourself stepped up to the task.

What, the Armisael joke not good enough for you? :p
 
Pfft, the Brits basically invented modern comedy. Self deprecating? Politically incorrect?

That was all us. Fawlty Towers, Monty Python, all that jazz.
German humour is pretty dark as hell, dude. Even pitch blacker than many British "comedians". Also, we lived under the Kaiser, the Great Depression, Nazis, the threat of the Russians, a Marxist-Leninist dictatorship, the Stasi... Dark humour is a necessary evolutionary trait. :p

See, for example, Volker Pispers explaining American foreign policy at around Dubya's time.



"Knowing who the bad guy is gives your day structure."

"I like to quote Angela Merkel verbatim. I have yet to find a better way to insult this woman."

"We should have supported Angela Merkel's armed rebellion against Honecker. With a bit of luck, she might have even been collateral damage!"

"The Americans were angry, because now the shiny weapons were in Khomeini's hands. A religious fundamentalist. A Muslim. Muslims. People who take their religion seriously. For Catholics unimaginable."

"For eight years, Saddam Hussein waged a war of aggression against his innocent neighbour state, supported by the United States. We stayed neutral -- well, we sold weapons to both sides. ...What? It's guaranteed jobs! There shall never be another war without Germany. ...Or something."
