Kätsch Twöändtwenty

Our German book, Neue Horizonte, comes with an interactive CD-ROM that we sometimes use to review for tests. Each student is loaned a CD at the beginning of the year, and they cost a lot of money if you lose them, so we try not to. At the top of the individual CDs' packages is this notice:


I didn't think much of it the first time I saw it, but then I read it more carefully... There is no way to read the license agreement until the seal is broken, but that implies that you've already accepted it! Älsö cöüld it ,,The Öpener öf thisem Päckäge ist hereby in Denglisch für the Rest öf his öder her Life tö speäk geköndemned" gesäid häve!

It was, however, already opened when I got it. There was no license agreement remaining...I guess some poor soul of a past year is still suffering the consequences of said license agreement.

So, did you like my Juhrmanization of "Catch 22?" Clever, right?
