Can you kick it ?

BERLIN - Police in Berlin said on Wednesday they had arrested two men on suspicion of placing cement-filled soccer balls around the city and inviting people to kick them. At least two people injured themselves by kicking the balls, which were chained to lampposts and trees alongside the spray-painted message: "Can you kick it?"

Police said they had identified a 26-year-old and a 29-year-old and had found a workshop in their apartment where they made the balls. The two are accused of causing serious physical injury, dangerous obstruction of traffic and causing injury through negligence, police said.

They sure do , here is one of their funniest jokes :-
This german boy went to England to learn some new English words. When he got on the plane the air hostess said 'Fasten your seatbelts, we're about to take off'. The german boy thought 'Take off, i will remember take off'.
The next day the boy went to the zoo. The boy was looking at the zebras when he saw a sign saying 'Zebra'. The boy thought I will remember zebra.
The next day the boy was walking down the street and he saw a woman looking at a baby. The woman said to the babies mother 'What a cute little baby'. The boy thought 'baby, I will remember baby'.
When the boy got back to Germany his mother asked him what word's he learned while he was in England. The boy replied:
"Take off ze-bra baby"
