> Not sleeping again a few nights ago, I re-read this almost by chance. 
> It's hilariously funny if you have any interest in the German language
> at all.  Mark Twain is easily my favorite American author.

> Thought Tobias, Dirk, Patrick Schiller, and other German-speaking
> listers (or German-speaking wannabees like me) might enjoy.
