Well first you need to speak german like a native.

Apparently to the Germans, a "berliner" was another name for a kind of pastry.
So the closest translation in English which accurately captured the hysterically
funny character of the phrase was "I am a jelly doughnut."

I think you had to be there.

NO NO NO!  It was a husband and wife that threw all their clothes out
the window of the car while driving down the road, just on impulse.  And then
they pulled off the side of the road to makeout, and while they were making
out, a terrible rainstorm came thru, and as a result the car was stuck in the
mud.  Being the only clothing they had was a pair of sneakers, the wife tied
both sneakers around her waist to cover her private parts.  Then she walked
to a nearby farmhouse, and when the old man answered the door, she said,"Can
you get your tractor, cause my Husbands stuck?"  to which the old man replied
while looking down, "Lady, if he's that far in, he ain't never gittin' out!"

Not that I think this belongs on a humor group, but since it's here I'll   
put in my 2 cents worth.

I've hunted since I turned 12 and one of the first guns I ever shot was
a replica of a Colt Navy (.36 caliber cap and ball handgun).  I have 
owned and shot a wide range of weapons from a BB-Gun to an M-60 
(Yes I served in the USMC).  In my closet now there is a replica of a 
kentucky long rifle.  The reason for the above is to give you some back
ground for what I'm going to say next.  

The ammo used by the military (both side before the collapse of communism)
are designed not to kill but to disable.  That's the reason for the full
metal jacket on military rounds.  The reason for this is that a dead man 
takes 1 person out of battle where a wounded man takes 3 out.  Now the ball
that is used in a musket will ripe a huge hole where it hits, and can kill
a person just from the shock.  That's right, you can kill a person by 
shooting him in the leg.

If anyone wants I can try and find sources for the above, but ask a person
fresh from either MCRD San Deiago (sp?) or MCRD Paris Island and They'll
tell you the same thing (along with many other interesting ways to Kill or 
maim a person.)

  Ok, if you want to get down to it, what kills people are flame
wars - ah, no - it's the ripping open of flesh causing drastic
bleeding and a shock to the system.  Bullets help make this process
move along quicker esp when fired from a gun - and even more 
efficient when fired from a semi-automatic hunting rifle.

   So, does the NRA really believe that people who go squirel
hunting need to use a rifle that'll fire so many bullets in
half a second to have removed every bit of meat from the bones
of the intended prey???

   I support the right to bear arms, but what about arming bears?

Gee, if you figured this was a polish joke you must have that
shit under your skull checked.

Nah, the way Canada got it's name was like this:
Sven and Toivo, two famous explorers, were out exploring, when they
suddenly realized that they were off the edge of their map... they
were in a completely unexplored area.  They yelled and whooped it
up, poured a few beers over each others heads, and got totally
drunk celebrating.  Finally, Sven said, "Hey, we gotta come up
with a name for this place, eh?".  So they thought and though,
but they couldn't come up with anything good.  Finally, they put
the letters A-Z on some stones, put them in Toivo's backpack,
and took turns drawing them.  Sven drew the first stone:
"I got a C, eh!".  Then Toivo drew a stone: "I got an N, eh!"
Then Sven drew another stone: "I got a D, eh!"
