Too Soon for Nazi Jokes...

Funny little thing happened last night that I wanted to share with everyone before I forgot. My friend Megan and I (no Grandma, it's not like that) were sitting at a pub having a couple beers, which by the way are amazing over here. Anyway I sit down and she is talking to this guy named Adrian. I sit down and start talking to a friend of his. I find out his name is Hamar and he is from Kuwait. We are all chatting and I find out that Adrian is from Germany. Anyway, after a while Adrian starts joking around and making comments like "look at me I must be a Nazi...and of course my friend here is obviously a terrorist." Those stereotypical jokes continue for a bit and I swear to you he must have called himself a Nazi 12 times. We eventually start talking about football. Not fake football, but actual, real American football. Adrian starts ripping on the Packers and I start to get into a bit with this guy, I think we are still joking around so I say, "Lay off the Packers right now before I have to kick your Nazi ass all over this pub." I said it with a big smile and everyone else around us starts laughing. Adrian sits there with a straight face, doesn't laugh at all. No emotion. I am immediately like, oh crap, what did I do? Turns out making Nazi jokes are something that is ok to do if you are German but not for anyone else. To make things worse on the way out of the pub I was retelling what happened the story to a couple other guys and forgot his name, and accidentally called him Adolf. Yeah, that's right. I was definitely on a roll.

Oh whatever, live and learn.
