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?)

(Pfaffenhofen, Dec.2008)


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.)

For what?

Small ad fom the current Bayrisches Taferl (local ad newspaper):

Ein moralisches Angebot: 52-jähr. interessanter Single sucht deutsche, flotte, blonde, schlanke, tierliebe Haushaltsbiene bis max. 42 Jahre, für 3 x wöchentlich, gute Bezahlung, aus dem Landkreis PAF, Kinder kein Problem, späteres Zusammenleben nicht ausgeschlossen, Foto erwünscht. Zuschriften bitte unter Chiffré-Nr. ... a.d.Verlag.

Translation:
Decent proposal
52-year-old interesting single looking for German, attractive, blonde, slim, animal-loving household bee up to 42 years, for 3 x per week, good payment, from PAF county, children no problem, living together in the future not excluded, photo desired. Reply quoting box no. …

For what does he want her? 3x? Household help, but with these specific properties and living together? Hmm…
