1. I had seen that picture once before... but from the caption that you seem to have erased...

... I was expecting to find something completely un-postable on DU.

4. I found it with the name I put on it

not other caption. I was expecting you to make a fahrt joke. :P

[MiddleFingerMom]

5. I was teasing. I added that caption... and my joke came AFTER my impulse to make a "fahrt" joke. n/t

[ashling]

8. Well, at least the impulse was there

that is somehow comforting in a perverse way.

:rofl:

6. I think it means The Exit. But I expected some would see it that way.

7. My German is rusty and was never good to begin with. But . . .

Shouldn't it be 'mit den Twins?'

;)

9. Actually, the German word for "twins" is "Zwillinge", bt no one would have...

.
.
.
... gotten the joke.
.
And the correct word would not have been "der" or "den", but "die" (the
plural form), but paired with the English word "twins", some might have
associated it with "death" and lost the joke entirely.
.
.
.
It's the Intertubes. We haz fast n loose mit der language geplayen.
.
.
.
Actually, "the boys" would have been properer.

10. But 'mit' is a dative preposition

And the dative plural article is 'den' . . . is it not?

[MiddleFingerMom]

11. I'm starting to think that maybe a "German grammar" Nazi is either redundant or too much for me. n/t

[mysuzuki2]

13. No, twins would be plural and mit takes dative case so it is der.

2. Hope the trip ended well.

3. Swiss, surely

A Zurich number plate, I think. But definitely Swiss.

[MissHoneychurch]

12. You are correctly

it is a Zürich number plate
