Good morning crew,

The Hofbrauhaus tonight. Do I really need to say any more? Do I need to describe the hot, crispy goodness of Kartoffelpuffer, counter-pointed by the cold, creaminess of smoked salmon and sour cream?

Or the juicy deliciousness of the wienerschnitzel they serve on a turkey platter, lightly breaded and deep fried to a tender golden brown, served with a human brain-sized scoop of German potato salad?

And lest anybody think I am not health conscious, I might preface my meal with a salad. The Munchner Wurstsalat, which is a sausage salad marinated in Vinegar and Oil with onions, sliced Swiss Cheese, Rye Bread and Butter.

Of course the entire exercise would be anticlimactic without the admixture of several quarts of cold, foamy Hofbrau Dunkel beer.

That is what makes the difference between a meal and an experience.

Laugh it up,

Joe

During the banquet celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary, Tom was asked to give his friends a brief account of the benefits of a marriage of such long duration. "Tell us Tom, just what is it you have learned from all those wonderful years with your wife?" an anonymous voice yelled from the back of the room.

Tom responded, "Well, I've learned that marriage is the best teacher of all. It teaches you loyalty, forbearance, self-restraint, meekness, forgiveness -- and a great many other qualities you wouldn't need if you had stayed single."

My boss is without peer when it comes to the rules and regulations that customs officials must follow. But when it comes to the law, well, that's a different story.

We were attending a court case in which we were prosecuting a smuggler. The judge asked the court, "Who is making these allegations?"

My boss stood up and proclaimed, "I am the alligator, your honor."
