You ignoramuses!
Nelson was famous for saying on his deathbed "Kismet,Hardy" misinterpreted for "Kiss me, Hardy!"
Now do you get it?

oh! horatio was his first name!? i didn't know that! so forget about hamlet!
i guess it is a reference to some anekdote about his death (maybe that he kissed his first officer goodbye), that we stupid krauts do not know...
@parker: please ease our painful unsatisfied curiosity!!!

Never heard of Horatio Nelson? Shame on you! ;)
Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, KB (29 September 1758 ? 21 October 1805) was a British flag officer famous for his participation in the Napoleonic Wars, most notably in the Battle of Trafalgar, a decisive British victory in the war, during which he lost his life. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horatio_Nelson,_1st_Viscount_Nelson)
But I don't really get the joke either...

I guess I'm too dim for the punchline. So I'm utterly trying to mask my ignorance by giving it ****.
The style alone deserves it anyway!

since i'm not an englishman, i do not know enough about sir nelson to get this joke. "horatio" - is that a reference to shakespeare's <Hamlet>?
