A new German coast guard officer was appointed during WWII.
So, as he starts his new shift after a few brief instructions from his superior, he sits down when suddenly, over the radio, in a British accent, he hears:
‘Mayday! Mayday!’
‘Mayday!’
‘We’re sinking!’
The German officer presses the microphone speaker button hesitantly, and replies:
‘Uh….ha….halloo?’
‘Mayday! Mayday! We’re sinking! I repeat, we’re sinking!’ bursts the British voice.
‘Hallooo?’ replies the officer.
‘We are SINKING!!! SEND HELP!’ cries the British voice.
Hesitantly, and with much confusion, the German officer responds:
‘Uh….Vat are you sinking about?’
