I'm very sorry that you felt you're being offended in any way Jager, if you put it in its context it's really quite harmless.
However I did not provide that context, my fault off automatically assuming people know about that story.

In fact, from all of the Americans I came across at EF I did not find any of them unpleasant or rude or anything.
Actually most were nice to be around with.
And the fact that some even take the trouble to learn some German, (I imagine a language quite foreign to most Americans) can only be seen as exemplary.
Here is a probably much less offensive quote from Uncle Kage "meine Lederhosen brennen"
