This was a camp where you immersed yourself into German language and culture.  It was 11 days long.  It was actually pretty fun, even though I didn't speak a word of German.  The camp was small too, probably not more than 25 people in the entire thing.  Anyway, several of us guys spent our time trying to think of jokes to tell.  We had to just tell them from memory because we didn't have any joke books on hand.  So, I'm sitting at the dinner table one night with the rest of my group (and all the other groups are there as well at separate tables) and during the meal I remembered a joke I needed to tell.  So, I said, "Oh, I have a joke I can tell!"  One of the counselors replied, "You can tell it to us after dinner".  Fearing that I would forget it, and thus lose the opportunity I said, "No, I need to tell it now!"The entire table just about fell out of their chairs.Everyone in the entire room just stopped and stared at our table wondering what the heck had just happened.  Of course, me being the only one not rolling on the floor assumed I'd said something very clever, which I hadn't.  To this day, I haven't really figured out what was so funny.  It must have been my mannerism.And I never did tell that joke. I forgot it.</blockquote>
