Plattdeutsch Video

An amusing video from Youtube. A stickup artist walks into a convenience store with a gun, demanding money. The clerk responds in Plattdeutsch (Saxon), which he does not understand. A Swat team bursts in, demanding in Plattdeutsch that he drop his gun. He again does not understand, does not drop his gun, so they blow him away. The moral of the story is that fluency in Plattdeutsch could save your life. This is of interest to those who want to know what the saxon language sounds like.
