    If in doubt, "Neun und neunzig luftballoons!" always gets a few smiles.
    Timing is everything. If you're early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late. If you're late, you're fucked.

    Letting off a thunderflash under the table just after someone shouts "ACHTUUUNG SPITFEUER!" would probably wake them up!

    In fact "The President of the Federal Republic of Germany" (Bundespräsident) would be correct - the Chancellor (Bundeskanzlerin) is actually number 3 in the order of precedence, with the President of the Bundestag (Präsident des Deutschen Bundestages) coming 2nd. Viel Spaβ!

    Being as the current President is in pretty deep shit and nobody knows who the PdDB is you'd probably be on safer ground by toasting Angie Merkel. Or you could make a joke about the current president and toast Konrad Adenauer instead - 1st Chancellor of the BRD - a safe bet and not likely to upset anyone or simply and least controversial "Our friends from the Bundesheer". Anything pre-1949 probably wouldn't go down very well.

    Any of the war stories by the charcters in any Sven Hassel book are likely to go down very well...
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, cigarette in one hand, beer in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO, WHAT A RIDE"!!

    If you are able,
    save them a place
    inside of you
    and save one backward glance
    when you are leaving
    for the places they can
    no longer go.
    Be not ashamed to say
    you loved them,
    though you may
    or may not have always.
    Take what they have left
    and what they have taught you
    with their dying
    and keep it with your own.
    And in that time
    when men decide and feel safe
    to call the war insane,
    take one moment to embrace
    those gentle heroes
    you left behind.

    How about
    I know we have not always got on well in the past, (Pause) but a new world cup is coming round so you may win again.
    God helps those who help themselves, but God help those who are caught helping themselves
