The bag of chips I had with my lunch today is made by Herr's of Pennsylvania. The company's slogan is: Make Herr's Yours!

What if a woman buys the chips? Is she encouraged to make Herr's hers?

What if some member of the family named Herb accepts a diplomatic post in Germany and his wife introduces him in Berlin as her Herr Herb Herr?

Uhhh.... I wish I could say something in reply more than just 'uhh' but I'm unfathomably confused.

[Pimienta]

Herr Herb Herr? what does it mean?

[hamster]

Herr is how you say Mr. in Germany. So Herb Herr of the Herr Potato Chip Co. would be Herr Herr over there.

[Pimienta]

cool

[Bomadeno]

Herr is pronounced 'air' ish right? (i remember it being like that from the german lesson days and wonder if i'm right)

[Pimienta]

Now that you mention the pronunciation I think it was in a song our choir once sang

[hamster]

Should I shout hear-hear or har-har for this herry post?

[Pimienta]

it depends on the day. If it is september 19th I'd say har har

[Bomadeno]

What's September 19th special for?

[Pimienta]

it's talk like apirate day

[Bomadeno]

Remind me on the day, and I'll also talk like a pirate. Otherwise I'll forget and let the country and the world down and there will probably be an armageddon or suchlike.

[Pimienta]

Ok I will note it in my calendar to tell you

Mark the day, ye land-lubbers or I'll be swabbin' the deck with yer hairy hides.

[Pimienta]
