The thing is, it's actually not real German.  It's "made up"
because of an English sign the Germans had years ago.  I've not time right
now to look it up on the Web, but there's an interesting history behind the
sign.  I'm currently awaiting a call from my sister to meet her, her
fiancee and our collective families at the courthouse to attend her wedding
today.

Don't bother trying to translate it; it's a joke in "pidgin
German" and was meant to be stupid like that. :)

Later,
Sean
