Actually, Germans don't understand sarcasm. I know, I lived there. I

When I went to London, I did have to ask what a secre tree was (any relation
to the oak tree?). And a labora tree and an observa tree and a 'lie bree'
and the 'straw bree'... :) Were I able to stay longer, perhaps I would have
understood better.
And at least we pronounce the 'r' at the ends of words. :)

A sarcastic e-mail? That's not possible, americans don't understand sarcasm
