Just kidding! I speak German with a heavy rural Austrian accent (it’s a long story), and everyone makes fun of it. There’s a puppet character in Germany called Kasperle, and he has a sidekick called Seppel who is your average country bumpkin. So my high-German-speaking friends call me Seppel.

Well, like I said, my German is derived from my Yiddish, which is written in Hebrew characters, so I don’t know an umlaud from two fly specs over a vowel, and consequently my spelling is farblunjet ingantzen. But an occasional tourist from Bavaria and I can palaver a bit, and I can make fun of Brandon as a student of Goebbels, which he is.
