Granted. Now when the nuclear winter arrives, no animal survives, because cockroaches - the all-time Most Likely to Survive Global Catastrophe winners - are extinct, thanks to you. By the time plants evolve to our level of sentience, the sun has turned orange and isn't that far from going out entirely.
I wish the only on-campus eatery open on weekends was a mile or so closer to here. Either that, or the closest eatery to here was the one open on weekends.

About the German: he meant that you were a German soldier defending Normandy from the Americans. In that case, speaking fluent German would be a pretty common skill.
