What's going on these days?
German weather is doing my head in...and I like chaos and disorder. From having about 3' of snow on Thursday, we have now gone down to almost none...despite very heavy snow today. At least I don't live on the not-so-sunny banks of the Rhine, or in Holland (which is where all this precipitation is eventually going to end up). Hope you can all swim, guys.

No real news, except for the fact that Deutsche Telekom recently announced a 20% increase in profits, despite the recent oss of part of their monopoly. And despite reducing call charges. And despite reducing internet charges to only the second highest in the world. Etcetera.
A joke, though, seeing as how I'm in Germany:
Jim the idiot was rather bored one day, so he decided to go and find a prostitute after his hard day's work at Audi. At length, he finds a likely lass, and explains that he has certain "preferences". Having been reassured that there was nothing too perverse about it all, the prostitute agreed.
"Right", said Jim, "The first thing I want you to do is to put on these springs, one on each shoulder, and two on your bum. Then lie down."
"But..." began the prostitute, puzzled, before deciding that it probably wasn't worth bothering about. As Jim got going, bouncing away as one might imagine, with the assistance of four such large springs, he began to shout QUACK with every thrust, rising to a literal climax - for both of them.
"I've never experienced anything so intense in my life," said the exhausted prostitute. "What's your secret?"
"It's called Four-spring Duck Technique" was his reply.
