    Found this picture, did not have a chance to drink it, though:

    It is some German wordplay:

    heulen / rumheulen = to whine
    Rum = rum

    Heul nicht rum = Don`t whine! / Cut whining! OR "Don't whine" rum

    P.S.
    The best thing about German humour (mark the humour not humor - this is serious):
    The joke has to be explained...
    "Jeder Krieg, auch der siegreiche, ist ein Unglück für das eigene Volk, denn kein Landerwerb, keine Milliarden können Menschenleben ersetzen und die Trauer der Familien aufwiegen."

    Just like my wine, I like dry humour Mr Bush. Henning Wehn is one of my favourite comedians.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
