(@TAOWs german girl comment)
/\ So true. And true story, my brother married a german girl (he's american).
At the wedding he told this story about her which was pretty funny, but it was much longer at the wedding. He asked her *9* times to go out with him. And everytime he did it he tried a new method to get her attention. She shot him down ever single time lol.
The 9th time he sees her on an elevator and is in a black suit with a walk talkie on. He works for At&T but was also a volunteer EMT at the time. This was at some training seminar they met at for computers but they worked different jobs. She asked him what he did for a living and he said quote "I work on the bureau". She says "what bureau?" He says "thats classified, its the FBI but I'm not allowed to say what branch I work for".
Mind you this is a smart german girl. But she was dumb enough to fall for it at first. Meanwhile his walk talkie starts going off asking him to report to a cardiac arrest victim right down the road. She cringes her face and asks "what branch of the FBI deals with heart attack victims?" He says "they don't, I work volunteer EMT on the side (good come back imo)". Then as their leaving the elevator now she's all interested in him, and asks to see his badge. At this point he fumbles completely and doesn't know how to respond. Within seconds she accuses him of being a lying asshole. Craziest thing is right afterwards he asked her out and she said yes, have now been married like 20 years.
Germans definitely do hate americans, but some of them don't I guess. =]
