To: Lonesome in Massachussets
The funniest thing I ever heard a German say was by a FICTITIOUS German in Stalag 17. It was Oberst Von Scherbach who said something like: "Curtains vould do vunders for dese barracks..... You vill NOT get them."

And in the same movie there was a reference to American vs German senses of humor:

Oberst Von Scherbach: How do you expect to win the war with an army of clowns?

J.J. Sefton: We sort of hope you'd laugh yourself to death.
