Wow. I was thinking that Klaus needed to find a safer job, but I don't think that he needs to worry about that now...

That can't be real, can it? There's something to be said for humour in the workplace, but that got plain outrageous...

samifan24 · 12-01-2003, 12:19 AM

Wow....that was, um, interesting.....

tucker342 · 12-01-2003, 12:29 AM

I took 3 years of German classes, and I only understood the parts where people had limbs cut off, got cut in half, impaled on forklifts, etc.

The blood spraying from hand stumps was very effective.

Yeah, but at least he put the hooks on himself and was ready to get back to work, I take it workmans comp isnt so big in Germany?

Ragone · 12-01-2003, 01:08 AM

i took nearly 6 years of german.. and after..

Das ist Klaus.. i was lost

JeeberD · 12-01-2003, 01:12 AM

LOL...

I lived in Germany for seven years, took German the entire time I lived there, took it in high school and college too, and I understood just a little bit more than you.

I think I understand more Spanish than German now, but when I try to speak one I always wind up throwing in words from the other. Confuses the hell out of the Mexican cooks we have...

mckerney · 12-01-2003, 01:17 AM

I'm going to start taking Spanish because chances are I'll need to pass a langauge test to graduate college, and what's the difference being I don't even know the German alphabet. My biggest problem with taking a foreign language is I butcher the English language on a daily basis, why should I be expected to know how to speak another language well. Secondly, I make up words when I'm speaking English, how come in second langauge classes they never let me make up words?

Markus Heinsohn · 12-01-2003, 02:34 AM

LOL

OK, this is definitely something that was done in the early 90's, where black british humor was kind of cool here. The narrator always stays calm and is known here from documentation series and education films of the past...

I thought it was really funny!

The_herd · 12-01-2003, 02:52 AM

Stationed in Germany for 3 years, only learned enough to say the numbers on the McDonald's menu. I didn't understand a word of it.

Is it true that Germans put real candles on their Christmas trees? That seems pretty unsafe to me.

KevinNU7 · 12-01-2003, 12:40 PM

OK that was hilarious and was probably a joke that some show did making fun of training videos. I can't see a really company doing that with the two guys riding off into the sunset. Needless to say I had a forklift license back in my high school days and this video easly trumped the crap one we had to watch back then.
