Dear Mr Piece

Master Piece Lyoner

Dear Mr Piece,

even though your sausage doesn’t taste bad, I think you really could do without monosodium glutamate as flavor enhancer (and some added colorants) as well as the silly blank in the name (“Meister Stück” = “Master Piece” instead of “Meisterstück” = “masterpiece”).

(Dec.2008)


Closed

Boss not here

Translation: On December 27, BOSS not here, WE neither. But Pssst… !!!

A more interesting way to say “Closed this Saturday”… (Or what else is it supposed to mean?)

Bought all presents?

Found on Dec 27 in a hedge:

weihnachts-einkaufszettel
(Click for large view – well, it’s a list of cheap things: functional turtleneck shirt; baking tray; canned sausage; “rouche”; hand warmer, cherry pit pillow; book – aquarium – coupon – fish)

Hope the paper wasn’t lost before the presents were bought – would be a pity if Isolde who was so looking forward to getting her rouge had not even received some rouche or Steffen starved without his canned sausage. Just wandering if that at the end is a book gift coupon and a fish for an aquarium, or if you need to read it line by line, too. (The last name appears to be Ryan’s last name; which is also why I blurred it.)
