This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I don't get it.
West Germany is known for being very clean. Every home has a maid so there's no stains.
That explains pretty much nothing about the "China" joke my question referred to.
That doesn't mean I get your joke either, but let's try and get there one by one.
West german here. Not a single lower to middle class household has a fucking maid, at best a housecleaner coming once a week or so.
It also is not particularly clean or orderly here, for example my own street facing exterior wall and apartment entrance have at least 3 graffitis, not counting random scribbles and tags. Granted i do live virtually in the very center of the city, but either way.
Definitely not neat freaks, perhaps in comparison with the united states where there is so much trash everywhere in urban areas. We do try to dispose of that for the most part.
