Before professoreric and I start getting hate mail, let me just say that we have nothing against the Germans. In fact, I am still waiting for my German lessons from MamaBear. (((Hugs to MamaBear)))
Those German lessons would have come in handy for something professoreric has been dealing with for work…

him (11:15:13 AM): let me tell you what i did since my day has been so stressful.
me (11:15:16 AM): Okie
him (11:15:58 AM): i got an e-mail finally from a german [vendor] who still hasn’t sent his/her [product], and which we most likely will not be [using] because it wont get here in time.
me (11:16:16 AM): that sucks
him (11:16:18 AM): well he/she sent the email in german, which i do not read or speak
him (11:16:51 AM): so i translated this crazy long e-mail on babelfish and all it said was that they recieved my message and understood it
him (11:17:45 AM): so being annoyed and confused why they responeded to my e-mail in german, i decided to send them a message that made it sound like i was trying to speak german to facilitate getting their message quicker
me (11:18:36 AM): What did you do?
him (11:19:59 AM): so i sent them this, which is a poor translation of what i wrote in english:
him (11:20:17 AM): Ich bin nicht sicher, wenn wir Wille Ihren [product] rechtzeitig recieve. Und ich verliebe in Sie. Senden Sie bitte Ihren [product] so bald wie möglich. Und lassen Sie mich wissen, wenn es nicht genügend Zeit danken Ihnen gibt.
him (11:20:37 AM): which means
him (11:21:07 AM): I am not sure if we will receive your [product] on time. And I am falling in love with you. Please send your [product] as soon as possible. And let me know if there is not enough time. thank you.
him (11:21:34 AM): (so i sent it and thats what they get!)
him (11:23:21 AM): i wish i could see their face when they recieve it
me (11:27:15 AM): LOL
me (11:27:51 AM): You should blog that
him (12:14:37 PM): sure… but i dont want those germans to think i am making fun of them
him (12:26:54 PM): oh whatever, they’re german
him (12:26:58 PM): post it
me (12:27:06 PM): And can my headline for the post be “Those damn Germans!”?
him (12:27:15 PM): sure

I pray that in his next life, professoreric does not come back as one of those hostage negotiation people.
Hahaha, um Gottes will, was soll das denn???
*amusiertes lecheln*
Nachste mal darft er vielleicht fragen ob der ‘verdamte Deutscher’ mit er heiraten mochte
That was so funny! But I think he’ll be safe, just as long as he doesn’t ‘mention the war’ (Fawlty towers *tm*)
Ach Schatzi,
I am sure that the next (ugh)Governor of Kalifornia would be able to STRAIGHTen things out for you. Seriously, feel free to ask if I can be of help.

~ich spreche nicht sehr gut Deutsche~
* well, not since college
would be funny if they came back saying they were falling in love too
And really, the real question is “Who WOULDN’T fall in love with professoreric?!”
