Maybe the Germans do have a sense of humour after all.
Voo are you kidding ...

FOOTIE fans in Germany are being urged to stick pins in voodoo dolls to kill our hopes of winning the World Cup.
Thousands of the £10 hessian models have sold on the internet.
Each 6in figure comes with a St George’s flag and its own pins.
A slogan on the packaging says: “Voodoo your team to victory.”
And instructions tell how to nobble an England player during a match.
A target for the Krauts: Frank Lampard in action for England.
First, punters decide which of our lads they want to put out of the game.
If Michael Owen makes a run on goal the makers say he will fall over before he can shoot if enough dolls have pins stuck in them.
John Terry could suddenly collapse as he is about to make a tackle. Wayne Rooney will keel over if he gets the same treatment. And German manufacturers Fussi Deluxe are flogging all the dolls they can produce.
Malcolm Clarke, chairman of the Football Supporters’ Federation, said voodoo would never be enough for the wannabe witch doctors to stop England being victorious.
He added: “They’ll need more than black magic to beat us.”
AIR fresheners in the shape of England players have been licensed for sale by the FA.
