Now that's constructive! How about VSN courses. You don't know? Volkswagen
or Vanagon as Second Language? You would learn expressions like
"Wasserboxer" (say "Vusserboxer") and "Digifant" (say "Digifunt") and others
that are not worth mentioning in public. You would also learn certain
cultural expressions like "taking a leak" which addresses a ritual where
heads get screwed off and on. 

I begin to like the idea. Maybe participants could get credit towards new
coolant or fuel lines?
