First, we don't want anything, and secondly, you're easier to catch when drunk!

Neee...sie hat versucht. Ich habe es nicht getrunken!
Und ich versuche *nie* Leute abzufuellen. Ich gebe aber zu, manchmal passiert heit, aber immer ganz zufaellig!
No...she tried. I didn't drink it!
And I *never* try to get people drunk. I'll admit, sometimes enness occurs, but it's always completely accidental.

Wie sagt man "*" und "#" auf den Telephon oder den Tastatur?
How do you say "*" (asterisk) and "#" (hash or pound) on the telephone or the keyboard?

"*" is "Sternchen"
"#" is "Raute" (we ususally say "Raute-Taste" - #-key)

The Germann (electronic) operator for my latest teleconference with Berlin described the " * " as "Stern-Taste", (star key) to be used "vor und nach das PIN-Kode" (before and after the PIN).
