The only one I never got was Frau Blücher and the horses until it was explained that Blucher is GLUE in German and of cause the horses did not want to hear about a glue factory.

Really - now it makes sense

Thanks for that tidbit - I truly feel a bit more enlighten today (I am not being sarcastic)

There is a lot more to the story. Young Frankenstein

Every time Frau Blücher's name is mentioned, horses are
heard whinnying. Many people believe the point of the joke to
be that Blücher is German for "glue." This belief has been
identified as an urban legend, though in a 2000 interview
Brooks suggested that he did base the joke on this erroneous
translation, which he had heard from someone.
