I just got a card from them. Should someone tell them? They seem to revel in the title. Maybe they offer special services.

Any other examples you know?

I'm old and harmless now, just a walking ATM machine to the young ladies.

Those Germans aren't so innocent... they know exactly what they are doing!

A while ago the old GS Guys who brought us BRIC suggested a new basket of countries worth investing in: Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea and Turkey. Unfortunatly the Akronym MIST in German means Manure..

( Its has been reworked to SMIT since then)

Good thing to know - never ask a German masseuse to cover you in a fine mist after a rubdown, unless that's what you're into.
