Speaking German In Texas

Near Fredericksburg, Texas, where there is a large German-speaking population, a farmer walking down a country road notices a man drinking from his pond with his hand.

The farmer shouted, “Trink das wasser nicht. die kuhen haben dahin gesheissen.”

Which means: “Don't drink the water, the cows have pooped in it.”

The man should back, “I'm from New York, and just down here campaigning for Obama's heath care plan. I can't understand you. Please speak in English.”

The farmer replied, “Use two hands , you'll get more.”
