MONDAY, JANUARY 19th.

MLK Day. And the 252d day of CPT Patti's Arabian Adventure.

Today's postings are brought to you by the Rapid German Study Foundation - saving you time by letting you know what you don't need to know.

Today's German phrase you don't need to know (this one is for Women aged 18-35 only - shopping at a German clothing store.

Diese Hosen sind zu fest. Gibt es irgendwelche Hosen, die nicht so fest sind?

In English: These pants are too tight. Do you have any that are not so tight?

You don't need to know this phrase because the short answer is "no".

The long answer is "no, no, no, no, no" (Actually, "nein, nein, nein, nein, nein"...but you get my meaning...)

In fact it would appear they sell no pants to women except those that can be applied with a vacuum seal.

Mind you...I'm not complaining...but our mission here is to save you valuable study time.

So don't bother to learn that phrase.
