The Official Germany or Florida Theme Song: Things are sick and twisted From too much sun and Nazis Sex, meth, and death fetishes Both of them have got these Guaranteed not to bore ya German-yyy or Florida Other GoF Themes
And now, on to our show...
SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD - A man water-skied behind a cruise liner to win a bet.
The stunt was recorded by a local TV show after a viewer wrote in disputing an earlier claim on the show that it would be theoretically possible to water-ski behind an ocean-going cruise ship.
The 40-year-old reporter took up the challenge "to prove it could be done."
He was brought up to the correct velocity by a speedboat and then switched over to a line pulled by the 575 foot cruiser.
He managed to stay afloat behind the vessel as it traveled at 17 knots for over five minutes.
Just think of the wake jumping he could have done!

Gotta think about this one. If you say 'cruise ship' I think you have to go with Florida over Germany. However, Knapp knows this. So it must be Germany...unless he knows that we'd go Germany because we thought that he thought he'd make it too obvious that it might not be Florida, because it isn't, but then he'd probably flip that too, making it seem like we were voting for Florida, but back to Germany, because Florida was too easy, but back to Florida, because that's obviously what Knapp meant, but then back to Germany, because Knapp probably went that far too. Whatever, I'm going with Florida.
You could think of government workers like teenagers. You pay them an allowance, but do you get any work out them? They eat the food, put their feet on the furniture and complain loudly whenever they are unhappy.

Man in Black: The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right, and who is dead. Vizzini: But it's so simple! All I have to do is divine from what I know of you. Are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet, or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I'm not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool; you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me. Man in Black: You've made your decision then? Vizzini: Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows. And Australia is entirely peopled with criminals. And criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me. So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. Man in Black: Truly you have a dizzying intellect. Vizzini: Wait 'til I get going... where was I? Man in Black: Australia. Vizzini: Yes, Australia, and you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me. Man in Black: You're just stalling now. Vizzini: You'd like to think that wouldn't you? You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong. So, you could have put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you. So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard which means you must have studied. And in studying, you must have learned that man is mortal so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me. Man in Black: You're trying to trick me into giving away something — it won't work. Vizzini: It has worked! You've given everything away! I know where the poison is! man in Black: Then make your choice. Vizzini: I will. And I choose... [points beyond Wesley's shoulder] What in the world can that be? Man in Black: [Turns to look while Vizzini switches the goblets] What? Where? I don't see anything. Vizzini: Oh, well, I-I could have sworn I saw something. No matter. [Chuckles] Man in Black: What's so funny? Vizzini: I'll tell you in a minute, but first, let's drink. Me from my glass, and you from yours. [They drink, Vizzini continues to chuckle] Man in Black: You guessed wrong. Vizzini: You only think I did, that's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned. You fool. You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." But only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line." Ah ha ha ha! Ah ha ha ha! Ah ha ha ha!
