Say "Auf Wiedersehen" to ....

Your Say
Well, rats.
And she says it wrong, too. It's not pronounced, "RindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertraGUNGsgesetz," it is pronounced, "RindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufGABENü
bertragungsgesetz."
Jeepers, no wonder the krauts are dropping it. They can't even say it right any more.

Oh SCHADE.

JB, I think you mean, "Scheisse." "Schade" means "damage."
