<DIV>I got this response after forwarding the "bathrooms and broom closets"
joke.</DIV>
<DIV>Siarlys</DIV>
<DIV><BR>--------- Forwarded message ----------<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Reminds me of the one in which the American tourist in a
German-speaking<BR>country was perplexed as to which facility was which.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He found "Damen" and "Herren" on the doors, and concluded that the
first<BR>meant "Here (da) Men", and the second meant "Hers".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In case anyone doesn't recognize enough German,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Damen is closely related to the English derivative, dame,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>and,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Herren is the plural of Herr, which almost any American would recognize
from</DIV>
<DIV>old movies as "Mister."</DIV></BODY></HTML>
