Love how common it is to hear "if it wasn't for our brave boys we'd all be speaking German". The British will overlook the prospect of Nazi death squads knocking at their doors, but not having to learn a second language.

I've always wondered why the Germans don't speak english or russian.

All of German verbal comedy is made of punchlines.

my favourite joke (told by a German) is: English couple adopt German baby, he seems happy but is totally mute. Aged 15 at a family meal the boy suddenly says 'mother, this soup is tepid' Much celebrating ensues. Mother: why didn't you speak earlier boy: until now everything has been satisfactory

I've heard this joke before, but not worded as well. It's much funnier the way you've phrased it.
