Re: Visit the US in September/ October and looking for funny contacts.

Right on Gerhard
Looks like you are having so much fun

I had to laugh at your picture of the gas line
At David ‘s house

A little humor, And the back story
I’ve been to Germany quite a few times
Germans typically think they are the best engineers in the world
Gerhard was no different

When we were starting the BBQ for dinner, he asked
‘ where does the gas come from for the BBQ ?’
I said, Americans run it underground from the street
He was dumbfounded
‘ in Germany we have bottles !’
Yea, Gerhard, you are in the USA now

After dinner
I lit the fire pit
Gerhard? ‘How do you light that fire pit ? ‘
Well Gerhard, remember that gas line that runs underground from the street ? We put a T in it and ran it over to that valve

We just laughed and laughed
I think he said something to the effect
“ You American’s are pretty smart ‘
