Title: Amusing, but nothing more
Review: I hate to be a stick-in-the-mud here, but this book is really NOT a "phrase book" and should not be listed in the language reference section. As an American who lived in Germany for three years and suffered the slings and separable-prefix arrows of learning this fascinating, complex language, I appreciate the humor at the heart of this book. But the examples here are really for people who understand that this is just humor at the expense of German and Germans -- someone buying this book thinking that it will allow you to be witty in German should think again -- You'll regret using any of the conversation examples here on a native speaker.
