- When my friend and I visited Germany, we got to Munchen just in time for
- Oktoberfest, and were sitting at the table with a bunch of drunk, friendly
- Germans (during Oktoberfest, I didn't see any other kind of German, actually.)
- I was getting wasted along with the Germans, and my friend, who spoke no German,
- kept trying to toast the (very well-endowed) waitress as he THOUGHT he heard
- us doing. Except that, WE were yelling "Prosit!" (cheers) and he kept saying
- to her something that sounded a lot more like "Brust!" (tits!). She didn't seem
- to mind.

- Maybe not better, but it's a start.
