I'm sure I could think up some sexist joke as to the reason why he invented dynamite, but I've done enough damage with offensive words for one month.
Long day today. I think I'm going to have a cream soda and vanilla ice cream float for dinner, followed by a viewing of the five hour long version of Das Boot. Because when I'm tired and full of ice cream and soda and wondering why my stomach is hurting and lamenting that I didn't get a "real" dinner, I want to be reading subtitles of a German movie.
"Ist this nicht das unterseeboot?"
"Ja! Das ist un unterseeboot!"
I apologize for mangling, if not destroying the German language, which is known for its lilting beauty and softness as it rolls off the tongue.
