Beschreibung

Welcome to Germany, a country where you should always wait at the red man, show up on time for your wedding, and be extremely suspicious if anyone offers you a doughnut.  
 
‘German men sit down to pee’ is a tongue-in-cheek guidebook to German culture that highlights the rules Germans consciously and unconsciously follow, while trying to make a little sense of it all along the way. Why, for example, mowing your lawn on a Sunday will mean getting an earful from your neighbour, but lie naked in the middle of a public park and nobody will bat an eyelid.  
 
Ideal for anyone visiting or moving to Germany, ‘German Men Sit Down to Pee’ offers a collection of insights into German culture while at the same time highlighting rules and cultural norms that those visiting Germany will not only find humorous but useful for avoiding any cultural faux-pas.

Hank Morgan is a man from 19th-century Connecticut who, after having a head injury, wakes to find himself 1300 years in the past in the court of King Arthur of medieval England. The people of the time notice that he is strange yet knowledgeable, but due to his odd clothing and language, is sentenced to death but avoids it by knowing of a coming eclipse and tricking the nobility into thinking he himself blotted out the sun. King Arthur elevates Hank to a ministerial position and Hank goes about trying to reeducate the people in his more modern thinking. On one journey, the king and Hank are captured having been pretending they were poor and are about to be sold into slavery but are rescued. The king abolished slavery to Hank's delight. Later, after Hank meets a woman, Merlin, a sorcerer who initially disliked Hank, casts a spell upon him to make him sleep for 1300 years. Hank wakes up on his deathbed in Connecticut dreaming about the woman with whom he fell in love.
