xe2x80x9cThe things about German food is that no matter how much you eat, an hour later youxe2x80x99re hungry for power.xe2x80x9d This joke is largely unavailable to anyone who doesnxe2x80x99t know the old chestnut about Chinese food invariably leaving one hungry soon after eating, whether one believes that about Chinese food or not. But then one must also know the commonplace about Germans that they long to control others, to have and to wield power. Now it makes some difference whether one only knows this commonplace, or whether or knows it and believes it to be true. And finally, it matters whether one has negative feelings about Germans on that count, or doesnxe2x80x99t.
