One of my grandfather's favorite jokes My grandfather loves telling jokes (even though they are mostly repeats he retells every now and then) thought some of you might enjoy this one: During the second world war on the front between the Germans and the French , the French had a method of mowing down Germans, when fighting against trenched soldiers they'd yell out "Hanz is that you?" then a German soldier would stand up answering "Yes!" and they'd shoot him down. This went on for weeks and there germans grew angry at this and wanted to get them back. So they yelled out "Pierre is that you?" and a French soldier answered back "Yes, is that you Hanz?" them a German soldier would stand up and immediately get shot. Not sure how well this translates from my native language and I swear it's a lot funnier when he explains it.
