Fasching: Germans in Humour Shocker

For those of you who aren't aware, it's that time of year again, Fasching (also known as Karneval or Fastnacht) when Germans go loopy, dress like lunatics, run around being daft in parades, have crazy parties, and drink with wanton abandon. It's great fucking fun and particularly refreshing for us foreigners who have to put up with them for the rest of the year! (Dass war nur ein Witz, glaub mir!) Even the police join in. Who said they'd no sense of humour?
