SNOW WHITE MUST DIE

3

»Snow White must die« is the story about a contract killer, that is engaged in a more than challenging job, as he knows the victim only a bit too well.

Another story illistrates the travel of a couple to the Himalayas, being on their personal quest to find the Yeti, a kind of Asian Bigfoot.

And other stories.

Humor is the zest of life.

Flat broke?

During the time of the cold war, an American travel agency invented a funny advertisement: »Visit Europe, as long as it still exists.« At the beginning of the nineties, a German pop band made a refrain out of it and ended up in the charts.

Europe still exists, I know that, because I live in Germany.

I appreciate spending my holidays in Spain. For everyone who ask themselves why both countries happen to have the same currency, but speak different languages, a little reminder, Germany lost the war.

Nowadays, where any rating via rating-agencies causes more fear and panic on this planet than the new album of the Backstreet Boys, one should probably better say: »Visit Europe, before it goes bankrupt.«

Just in case, that you, my honorable reader, aren’t bankrupt either yet.

The easiest way for you to find out, as I would suggest, when none of your 33 credit cards functions any longer or when you enter your personal bank and the clerk grabs you immediately by the elbow, and drags you rather violently into the office of the head of the bank. You are definitely treated there like someone, who is getting mugged around 2:30 a.m. in the Bronx.

Please don’t try to get out of your personal debt crisis by means of any crooked dealings, it definitely won’t work out at all, because: »Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein , and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.« Or formulated for some easier understanding: »Harm set, harm get.«

The next time someone wants to force some credit card application on you, and then please say immediately: »Sorry, I’m not worthy of credit.« I always answer in that very style, though, in my case, it is a plain lie. But that way, I keep the canvasser away and I won’t lead into any temptation. You don’t really need to Have or own everything, rather stay modesty and understated style. Modest is as well the number of my little stories, that have been all translated from German into English. But you of course know: »Brevity is the soul of wit.«
