To Bob (The Eagle)

No.  I looked up my 2000 word German/Norwegian 'tourist phrase book' (haben sie 
unterhosen hier? - type of a thing), but found nothing on 'dork'.  My old 
15.000 word German/Norwegian dictionary is somewhere in the house, - I'll look 
it up.  We had compulsory 5 years with German in my time at school.  I am not 
that good at it, but can find my way around Germany and handle simple phrases 
with a German telephone switchboard operators and so on, in my business.  I 
speak German 'fluently' when I am drunk, they say.  Just give me a schnaps and 
I'll be as good an orator as...well, forget it.

Adlerhorst means eagle's nest, by the way.

I liked learning languages and regret that I did not take it more seriously.  
We had a few years of French too, but I make total fool of myself whenever I go 
with my wife to a Paris restaurant and try my skills, - my wife say.  Her 
French is excellent.
