4G iPhone Misplacer Invited To Germany For Beer

eldavojohn writes "You may recall the hapless engineer who left a fairly sensitive iPhone at a bar recently. Well, in a PR stunt, Lufthansa has invited him to visit Germany on their dime after citing his latest Facebook status, 'I underestimated how good German beer is' as well as his obvious passion for German beer and culture. It's not clear if Gray Powell has decided to 'pick up where he last left off' (as the letter puts it). I know what my decision would be."

    I'm always puzzled by this difference between English and American*.

    It's not a difference between English and American, it's a difference between English and Idiot. Americans who aren't idiots get it right too...

    If it's anything like my experiences with Lufthansa - the company trying single-handedly to prove that German efficiency is a myth - then they're hoping he'll put it in his checked luggage, where they can recover it when it ends up on a different continent to him.
