In which Eric impresses the pretty fraulein

One other quick Germany story: I was having dinner with some business colleagues in the hotel restaurant. Our waitress was a comely lass and, as soon as she was out of earshot, they affected the Joey Tribianni catchphrase: "So how you doin'?"

So the next time she came to our table, I said: "Wie geht es ihnen?" (the German "how you doin'?") Her eyes lit up and she became very animated: "Zehr goot, danke!" and (in English) "You said that very well." My upstaged colleagues were noticably deflated. Heh.

Sorry that this story did not mention breasts. Can't win them all.
