I love these two.
Ok, let me think...probably most of the sayings from my language would be funny for you, if I translated them literally.
One example:
English: to be out of the woods (sounds funny to me)
German: to be over the hill
Some that are funny in German, too:
German: Er ist so blöd, dass er brummt.
English, literally: He is so stupid, he hums.
Meaning: He is VERY stupid
G: Du bist doch mit dem Klammerbeutel gepudert
E: You were powdered with a bag full of clothespins.
M: You are nuts
G: Am Arsch die Räuber!
E: Thieves on your ass!
M: As if!
G: Quark mit Soße
E: curd with gravy
M: (That's) nonsense
twistedude:
Verflixt und zugenaeht.
