Cary said since you have to say everything ballistic-ally, aka really loudly, everyone's mistakes are even funnier. And then there's the fact that you can't laugh or else you'll get in trouble. So picture saying, "Sir, a seagull pooped on me!! May I go to the head to wash it off?!!" Or, "oine, deutch, tretch!!!" That's fake German. And then don't laugh. Which we all know is even easier when you're not supposed to. I couldn't even read these and not laugh out loud.
