No More Drinks, Please
Not really an “idiot” story as such but rather an example of a German attempt at what we call “humour”.
Werder Bremen goalkeeper Tim Wiese had a small glass bottle with a smashed neck thrown at him during their derby match against Hamburg.
What could have been a particularly nasty incident was played down rather by the man on the tannoy who announched:
“Don’t send Wiese any more drinks”.
Priceless.
