| #9 Intereting thought Ruprecht! Having worked for Bavarian companies in NYC for 10 years--it's interesting how quickly the Germans adapted to the US economy--anyone here on a German card got 4-5 weeks vacation--the Americans got 2, were treated like second class citizens and could be fired at will unlike their German counterparts--I'd sure as hell work under the German model |

| #8 Somehow the idea of lederhosen-less yodelers just doesn't have visual appeal. |

| #7 They should buy crotchless lederhosen and get the French to pay for it. |

| #6 Half of Europe is riding on the back of the Bavarian economy. There is no way they could keep going forever pulling that kind of load. |

| #2 And thus began the yodeller terrorist network that would plague Germany for centuries. The YUSUK ("yodelterrorist underground socialists united kirche") trademark was leaving a pair of bloody lederhosen at the scene of each attack. |
