Erich should have really put the sarcasm on ’em hard. Maybe they could have paddled hard enough to get them that fourth place spot anyhow.
Do Germans do sarcasm? I honestly don’t know the cultural applicability of things like sarcasm. What about the various Asian cultures? I’d be fascinated to know how much sarcasm plays a day-to-day role in, let’s say, rural areas of India, or high-density population areas of China. Whattaya think? Can you picture a Nepalese guy saying, “Oh, SURE! I’d LOOOOOVE to carry your junk up Mt. Everest so you can tell your friends YOU climbed AAAAAALL the way up there without mentioning that I HAD YOUR TENT AND STUFF ON MY BACK” That’s put ol’ Edmund Hillary in a squirmy sort of mood, wouldn’t it?
