When I was stationed in Germany, I worked with a German national electronics technician.
This guy guy could curse more than any sailer I knew, both in German and English.
The funniest times were when he would mix and match. He would ranting about something
in German but every other word was fu*, sh*, co*, bas*, etc. He'd have us rolling on the floor,
which pissed him off even more because typically he was already really mad about something.
He'd get us back though. He was a little guy but he could literally clear a room with one of his
farts. Sometimes he'd wait until a couple of us were bent over trying to install some heavy,
expensive piece of equipment in a rack. We'd get it half mounted and be in a position where
we basically couldn't move and he'd walk up, get this evil look on his face and we'd know
what was coming. We'd be coughing, our eyes would be watering and we'd still be stuck
holding the equipment. Arschloch!

Hilarious! I hear it, too.
Man, there's just something about the German language that sounds really
funny just being spoken.
That reminds me of one terrible country singer I toured with.
He had a German guy, named Markus, in the band as a utility player.
That's a guy who can play several different instruments-- usually
stringed. This guy was real German, off the boat. He listened to
county music his whole life and came to Nashville to play it for real.
Anyway, Markus' English was perfect so he would rarely speak German but
when he did it was hilarious. He spoke in a way that it always sounded
like he was angry.
When this country singer would introduce the band and he got to Markus,
he'd say, "This is Markus and he can play just about any instrument.
Markus also happens to be from Germany. Markus, why don't you greet the
crowd and tell them how happy you are to be here?"
So Markus would step up to the mic and say something completely
innocuous and civil if it was in English, something like, "Hi folks,
it's great to be here playing for you. We're having a great time, I
hope you are too. Have fun and enjoy the music!"
But when he said it in German, he would be very demonstrative, using
exaggerated gestures and pronouncing words very vigorously. It looked
and sounded like Hitler giving one of his famous angry speeches. It was
hysterical and always had the audience in stitches. He would often
end it with "Please enjoy this next tune," spoken in English, as he
started the banjo intro to some horrible song. That made it even funnier.
After a while, he started to change his whole approach. He said, "If
I'm going to sound like I'm cussing them out, I may as well cuss them
out." So he started cussing them out in German until after one show a
guy came to the meet-n-greet and said, "I speak German and I know
exactly what you were saying to us." We all busted up laughing.

Where have you been? I worked in the Chemical industry and was used to
the manufacturers using sex to in their advertisements for large pieces
of equipment .
I don't know how many adds I have seen for large industrial pumps with
girls in bikinis in the add, Centrifuges for industrial operation with
girls in bikinis.

That's awesome.
I worked for the city parks department during off time in college.
We has this redneck supervisor who always drove the truck. He'd hit the
child locks on the windows and we knew what was coming next. He'd cut
one loose and we'd about choke to death.
One time, one of the young guys got mad and said, "You know, you're not
the only one who can do that! Here!!"
He then lifted up one cheek, got a squinted look on his face, grunted
hard, and vigorously shat his pants with authority.
He left work early that day. :-)

No, but I think he's lying about those ads.
I think he needs to provide some evidence, huh? :-)
