Nice Joke. - Your son knows what is important As I was a Kid and I made a thing good, I got a snurf or a Famous Five Cassette. - Where do you come from? Germany, England ?Katharine wrote:The changing of European currency ruined a joke I tried to make the other day.
My son had just received the results of a German test he had taken at school. He told me he'd received so many marks. I turned round and said 'oh, they paid you to take the test then?' He just looked at me blankly and couldn't understand why I was grinning. Then it dawned on me, he probably can't remember a time when Germans used the Deutsch Mark.
OK, I know it was a fairly feeble joke in the first place.
