I suppose I shouldn't laugh, but...

....I did find it amusing in the meeting I've just been in when a
German colleague came out with the line:

"I do not approve of ze tactical approach - we must find a Final
Solution to this problem".

 

This morning, Tim Henman was interviewed on R4. "Yeah, well, now I've put
my back problems behind me ..."

 

Ha.

Only last week we sent a presentation to our Bavarian customer with a
network architecture diagram, over 2 slides: one the short term workaround,
and the other the final solution. Nobody seemed to mind, if that helps

 

That would've been a coughed coffee moment for me.

did you do it deliberately?

 

sitting around a conference table with a bunch of Germans one of whom
starts talking about final solution made me feel like I was on the set
of "Conspiracy"

 

No. The temptation to keep doing it is almost irresistible, though.
Tempered by the fact that we have a jewish guy in the office, mind.

 

Some of them are completely cool with a bit of ribbing about the war;
a german guy who used to work for me had "don't mention the war!" in
his .sig.

 

I'd have been looking for Scotty or the Tardis.

Tempered? Is this a new word for encouraged?
