No time to catch up, so I'll have to fill in with a German joke.
It's great to have something to fall back on.
At dinner the other night, my friend Don was telling us about being in Cannes with two Germans. The Germans spoke no French, and the waiter spoke no German. So the conversation was in English.
After dinner, they were thinking about dessert, and so asked the waiter.
"Do you have ice cream?"
"Yes. We do."
"What flavors?"
"Chocolate and Vanilla"
"Do you have strawberry?"
"I will go check." Waiter leaves.
10 minutes go by.
Waiter returns. "Yes. We do have strawberry."
"Good." (Pause) "I'll have chocolate."
And no, he wasn't joking.

I guess, since you labeled it a joke, that there must be a joke in there somewhere...... It's perfectly reasonable behaviour, I could have done the same thing. But then again, I am German.....
I suppose the 10 minute wait might drive this conclusion...
and what would have happened had the waiter returned with a strawberry ice cream...
