Explosive Comments
My parents have some new neighbours. They are German (the neighbours not my parents that is). My parents being the kind people they are have gone over to make sure they know which bin to put out when etc. So last week they all went out for a meal. The husband of this couple works for a construction firm. He announced that they had had to evacuate the site the other day because they had found a bomb. My mother, without a moments hesitation, turned to him and said "one of yours or one of ours?" My father is still cringing now.

That's hilarious! I think it's safe to say that your mother probably made an impression.
Of course I have a slight image of your father doing a Basil Fawlty impression now...
And you would be completely correct in your image
lol that is cringeworthy!!
When we ran the chalets here that Fawlty Towers sketch was one we would often remember, especially when our son was openly celebrating over us winning the football in front of some German visitors one year.
