// The German "educational singer" Uwe Kind onstage during a German field trip
Uwe: So, 'der Kopf'! What is 'Kopf'?
Audience: The head.
Uwe And 'der Rucken'! What is 'Rucken'?
Audience: The back.
Uwe: Very good! And finally, 'der Scheisse'. 'Scheisse' means 'shit' in English."
Audience: (stunned silence.)
// Note: Mr. Kind is from Germany, where public profanity is socially acceptable.
// Apparently no one told Mr. Kind that the same standards didn't apply to his
// English-speaking audience of 1,000 FCPS students, teachers, and administrators.
