You know you've seen WED too many times when...


You start a phone call by saying, "Broadsword calling Danny Boy!"
Your wife notices you have a hole in your sweater and you reply, "What the Hell...a hole is a hole is hole, as they say!"
During a conversation, you tell someone that you "thought ze Cathedral was on ze uzzer side of ze Square!"
You meet a beautiful blonde showing a lot of cleavage, look down at her boobs and comment, "What a disguise!"
Your wife catches you in bed with another woman and demands to know what's going on, and you reply, "It's very simple...the young lady and myself have just uncovered a plot to assassinate the Fuhrer!"
Your only solution to even the smallest problem is to "Whistle up a Pathfinder Squadron with ten-ton bombs!"
You once dated a girl called Fred

Any more?

The name of your girlfiend is Fred.

Beer brand names on the steins in the bierstube "confrontation scene" are nicely hidden.

You can speak English in the same bierstube in front of the bartender and other German patrons and no one is the wiser.

Cars blow up seconds after being pushed off a cliff, in spite of having no apparent detonation device.

Hot looking WW II women had "helmet-hair" styles 25 years ahead of their time.

Regular German conversations sound as if they are screaming near-profanities at each other all the time.

Wood in firewood sheds looks like kindling-toothpicks instead of sturdy chunks for a fire.

You can jump onto the tops of cable cars and no one inside the cars hears your big-boot feet clunking onto the car roof.



The best revenge: Live well, enjoy life and be happy. Drives any haters crazy.

When trying to break down wooden doors to capture enemy agents, use sledge hammers instead of the many cannons and grenades lyin around.

1930's German buses were bulletproof. Especially the rear portion.

German army knapsacks were so deep and well designed they could hold hundred of rounds of ammo as well as explosives, grappling hooks and uniform parts.
