The German word "wählen" can mean
- to pick, to choose
- to elect
- to dial
The German word "Null" can mean
- zero
- loser, jerk

So, someone saying "Ich habe die Null gewählt" either means
- "I've dialed zero."
Or
- "I voted for that idiot."

Enjoy our language!

Another classic I love:

Wartet, nicht hängen!
Wartet nicht, hängen!

Big difference if you're a defendant who has been acquitted after wrong sentencing.

@alexandermoore @jensclasen One of the reasons we got rid of the death penalty. ;-)
