I was in Germany one time and a friend with us ordered a “Hamburger Schnitzel”.
Another at the table asked, “What’s in a Hamburger Schnitzel?”
Another offered, “Hamburger, I guess....”
The waiter, indignant (as per usual) exclaimed, “THERE IS NO HAMBURGER IN OUR HAMURGER SCHNITZEL!”............

Of course, a Hamburger is someone from Hamburg, or as in this case, “Prepared the way it is Hamburg”............meaning, “with a fried egg on top”.......

...new super-economical small Volkswagen.

Note to VW: If I can't sit in it, it won't matter how good the mileage is.

The New Beetle: dependable except when I need to get the battery jump-started every once in awhile.

Many moons ago, my li'l bro tried to teach me to drive a stick in an old powder blue bug :)

I want fuel efficiency, but I need head and leg room.

If I wanted to drive one of those, I’d go golfing.

The New Beetle has PLENTY of front head and leg room. The back will accomodate someone over 5'9" if they slouch.

Well, the Czechs make pretty good beer, as do the Poles (but those areas used to be German...)
