I married my first wife when I was stationed in Germany. Afer we got back to America, we were driving down the expressway one day and she asked, "Why do we never get to that town, I keep seeing the sign, but we never get there?".

To wit, I asked, "What town?"

In her German accent, she said "grest ahhreah."

She had been seeing the "Rest Area" signs.

A few years later, she had joined a local women's club, and they were discussing something and she stood up in front of the entire assembly and said, "Well, if you can't join them, lick them.".

My father-in -law took my 7 year old son to get haircuts. When the barber asked him how he wanted it cut, grandpa didn't have a clue so he asked his grandson to translate.

The little smart ass responded, "that will cost you two euro." He made him pay.

By God, I've got a capitalist!

My mother once exclaimed that it seemed that all exits on the Authobahn were leading to “Ausfahrt,” obviously one hell of a big city. Of course, I had to explained to her it means “exit.”
