Dont Hassel the Hoff

I was in the U-bahn last Thursday waiting for my train. There was some kind of problem with the tracks and the trains could not run, so as a result the platform is crowded with Germans and I am in a bad mood (I had already been waiting for twenty minutes). I decided to watch the info screen to pass the time. Then out of nowhere the greatest thing in the world happened; a news story about David Hasselhoff graced the screen. I immediately start laughing, I mean rolling on the ground gasping for breath laughing. Here is the best part; while I am making a total ass out of myself nobody turns around to look at me because they are so engrossed in the Hoff news. There is nothing more fabulous than German stereotypes coming to life right before you eyes. The only thing that could have made it better would have been if one of the stern looking German businessmen turned to me laughing on the floor and said "There is no laughing in Germany."
