A certain staff member at a tourist resort had just started learning German and had been told to practice as much orally as possible. The staff member decided to start practising with a co-worker who had absolutely no knowledge of the language. The co-worker did a good deed one day and, in reply, the German practicer said politely "DANKE" (which means 'thank you'). The co-worker, shocked, replied loudly and defensively: "Donkey like yuh pupa!"
