The TN forum may think I'm nut, but I wanted to understand this little
Erzählung von Schwaben. Now I understand better, but I dare not
translate
to American, because you'll probably miss the point. The peasants there 
are said to be very dry, hard to understand and not using many words
when
meeting people from outside their land. But when they finally decide to
make a comment...well, read yourself.

Ein Australischer Bauer besucht eines tages einen schwäbischen
wortkargen Bauern.
Er fragt: Habt ihr auch Kühe? 
Jo.
Habt ihr auch Schweine? 
Jo.
Habt ihr auch Schafe? 
Jo.
Habt ihr auch Känguruhs? 
Ha?? Was isch au des?
Das sind Tiere, die sich auf den Schwanz setzen können.
Ha jo des hen mir au, lacht der Bauer, abr mir sagat Sackratta dazua!

Inge, 

'Sackratta' may not exist, but 'Sackratte' certainly 
does. Literally translated it means 'Crab Louse', 
a.k.a. 'Pubic louse' ...  
Combined with 'Blödmann' =~ 'Idiot' : 
Whatever did you do to deserve such insults?

regards 
Torben Oesteraa
