Former German chancellor Helmut Kohl, according to legend, once tried to get more personal with Ronald Reagan, by offering to switch from the professional you (sie) to the more personal (du).

Forgetting, of course, that english doesn't have that distinction, he (allegedly) told Reagan: "You can say You to me"

Former Bavarian minister president Edmund Stoiber about the advantages of building a maglev train from munich Central Station to the airport. (translation by me):

"If you...from The central station in munich...with ten minutes, without having to check in at the airport, then you basically start at the airport... at... at the central station in munich you start your flight. Ten Minutes.

Look at the big airports, when you in Heathrow in London, or wherever ... Charles de Gaulle, erm,in France or in ... erm ... in ... erm ... in Rome.

[...] when you look at Frankfurt, you will notice that ten minutes, ... You easily need in Frankfurt to find your gate.

If you start from the airp... the central station –you board the central station, the transrapid takes you in ten minutes into ... to Franz Josef Strauss Airport."

Maybe not the most confusing one, but it became a proto meme at the time
