This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Girl goes to a store and asks: "do you sell pantyhoses?". The salesman replies: "why? Do you have half an ass?"

That's sadly the funniest German joke I've ever heard, I mean the punchline is there, but the set-up isn't, meaning it's closer to what I recognize as a joke than most Germanic Humor.

Edit: Nope, funnier German jokes are in this comment chain, I'm in a good mood today

It's a bit like the shortest joke: A woman comes at the doctor....

Or in German: Kommt 'ne Frau beim Arzt...

This one works well in German and English, but I assume it's untranslatable in many other languages.

Stupid questionDoes it play on the double meaning of "come" being "to arrive" and "to orgasm"?

That. And the fact that doctor jokes have a well known scheme that's broken here, as you'd normally expect the joke to continue after the sentence.

A woman comes to the doctor and asks "Can I take a bath with my diarrhea?" The doctor answers: "Sure, if it's enough to fill the tub."

Here a joke my english teacher always told us:

What says a Saxon in New York when he wants a Christmas tree? .

A tännchen, please.

The saxon "a tännchen" sounds in english like: attention
