Aufgabe drei: Befolge die Regeln!

Guten Morgen. I finally got eight hours last night. Gott im Himmel!

Alright, there's two things I've always know: 1) Germans like to drink. 2) Germans like rules. I just didn't really put them together until now.

Well, last night I did. Tom & Kay had bought a bought of Alan's favorite kind of schnapps. We had a few shots just to get us tired enough (like 36 hours awake wasn't enough) to sleep at a decent hour. Germans are really serious about their toasting. When you toast, you have to look have to look them in the eyes as you say "Prost!", otherwise it's considered bad luck, and you'll have seven years bad sex. (I'm serious.) Well, last night I discovered another rule. After about the fourth shot, he poured it. I grabbed it and swung it back. Alan looks at me. I quickly say "Uh... Prost?" Another rule: If you do a shot without toasting... yup, you have to do another shot. :-)

If you'll excuse me now, I'm going to make a little espresso. :-)

Also, the first pictures are now online:
