...on American curling at the Olympics:

We probably should treat curling more like Canada does. They take children when they are very young and train them in nothing but curling. These people are considered gods among the average Canadian and given the choicest maple syrup and moose meat. And when they are no longer able to compete in curling, they are shot in the head to make sure they can’t pass on Canadian curling secrets.

A-HA! That explains it!

Don't be silly! We don't shoot them: we set them adrift on ice floes.

Then I suppose Germany has the same problem. Well, no, our problem (according to my grandma) is that we have no good housekeepers here, so nobody knows how to throw an iron onto the ice and what to do with the brooms. :D
