I was in Germany working on a cruise ship that was being finished up in the Bremerhaven dry dock when I was 19, it was after work and a bunch of us went out and got drunk as we did and while coming back after all our fun, we passed by a roll-up door that had "einfahrt" painted in huge block letters on it. One of the people in our group looks at it, points at yells "I fart too, but I don't brag about it!"
Definitely the highlight of the trip.
I also remember hanging out at the bar that was on the docks having dinner and some of the other people on my ship were trying to ask where the bathroom was and the waitress and bartender didn't understand a single way they were putting it until the guy was like "Ok, I'm sorry this may be a little crude but it's the only way left I know how I might ask... Where can I take a scheisse?" Turns out they call it "water closet" (bathroom is just labeled "WC") and that was the one term none of us had ever heard before.
