He took German class in school anyway and once his teacher said "all words ending in -ung are feminine nouns." He then raised his hand and said "What about der Dung?" And the teacher said, "OK, all nouns except that one are feminine." He raised his hand again and asked "What about der Kuhdung?" Then the teacher kicked him out of class!</div><div><br></div><div>-Chaz</div><div><br><div><div>On Oct 15, 2008, at 5:13 PM, Fritz Goerling wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;
