Something to do if you're bored

ve seem to have run out of jews
sorry

No, don't get it.

They look like they're pushing the tank along. "We seem to have run out of juice", as in, they've run out of fuel. Historically related word-play on the word 'juice'.

Either that, or it's the most inappropriate autocorrect ever.

my auto correct in a message said

"Im going to do a job in Cheerleader", instead of "cheadle"

that one confused the wife

Haha, that's brilliant!

Well, there you go, it made no sense. The English language consonant /s/ has an equivalent in German "and should therefore be perceived and articulated without great difficulty" [Learner English - A teacher's guide to interference and other problems - Swan & Smith (Eds) 38.]

Conversely the voiced sound /z/ (as in "tools") does not occur at the ends of words in German. Native German speakers tend to confuse it with or replace it by their unvoiced equivelants in this positions so say "loose" instead of "lose".

Also the sound of j as in "juice" (this would be easier with a phonetic alphabet font) is rare in German and is frequently pronounced "sh" as in "shoot". So if they had actually run out of jews they would have said, "Ve seem to haf run out of shooss". Had they run out of fuel (or "juice") they would have said, "Ve seem to haf run out of shooss."

Anyway, I get the joke now. Oh dear, it seems if you have to analyse humour it ceases to be funny. If it ever was.

Also if a German was reading these without any knowledge of English pronunciation they would say:

"Ve sem toe haf-eh rwun owoot off schoowikeh"

and

""Ve sem toe haf-eh rwun owoot off schevs"

NB: For hours of fun, why not ask a German to say the word 'squirrel'. They might also ask you to pronounce their word for the little blighters: 'Eichhörnchen'. After a few beers it becomes quite the challenge.

The English language consonant /s/ has an equivalent in German... ...the voiced sound /z/ ...Native German speakers... ...the sound of j as in "juice" is rare in German and is frequently pronounced "sh"... etc etc etc

I'd just like to point out that [I could be wrong, but] I don't think dadio's joke actually relys on it being read in either a real or spoof German accent...? The spoof accent in how it was typed was just because they were Germans saying it? Otherwise, if what your saying is true, surely that would mean all of hit TV comedy 'Allo Allo' is not funny?
