Deutsche



In town this week is a bunch of high-powered biz-types. A large contingent of Germans is among them, adding a little bit of Euro-pizzaz to the joint, even though they stayed at the beach. It's odd seeing all those well-dressed people about the place. Hugo Boss suits aren't exactly thick on the ground here in the Tropical Midwest, where Sans-a-Belt pants and trucker hats are the dress of choice.

There are two features of the Germanic business type apart from the cut of their threads. First, they are tall, towering a few hands above most of us, and secondly, they walk around in a cloud of cologne. It's uncanny - all the men smell like, well, Eurotrash. No Old Spice here.

Oh, and one more thing. Some of them have their own three-engined planes. Nice work if you can get it.

i'll bet their companies sent the tallest guys to give them a psychological edge in meetings! ;) as to their scent, what is it with eurotrash? it's always just a bit too much and almost cheap smelling. or maybe i'm just thinking of russian hoods...xoxox

Maybe they are buying up Florida. It should be on sale about now.

The tall thing is strange; I don't remember Germans being particularly tall. Maybe Savannah has a point there.

OOoh, I like the thinking, Savannah. Did I read somewhere that taller people on average are more successful and earn more than shorter people?

And thank you for confirming my man-fume generalization. The Euros do pile on the scent, don't they? Is that a kind of overwhelming strategy for business and sex I wonder? Interesting. As is your knowledge of Russian hoods. Ahem.

Perhaps they are buying up Florida, Don! I didn't know until recently how many Germans come to this coast....they're especially fond of the Fort Myers/Captiva area. There are direct flights to the Ft M airport from quite a few smaller German cities.
