Monty Python always very good, I love everything from them. And I'm already sorry for making a clone that wants to try that.
Think about how much fun you could have playing with your self!The tought of making a clone of me? Some bad idea! Don't they have already enough trouble with the Original?
It might be fun still!Hm, I would not like to play chess with my clone, I think. - I am always in such a bad mood after losing a chess game ...
You don't play with a back-up! You store it safely!Think about how much fun you could have playing with your self!
Good to hear you have a job again! Some kind of night porter, I understand from the translation (there is a good movie about that job, a movie which has some renown on this forum - with Charlotte Rampling!).Hm, in the coming weeks, I will be here probably not so often any more. Maybe, I will have a new job soon about which I am not sure if I should be so happy. A hotel manager called me and asked if I could become the "night auditor" there.
But never forgets!Later in the morning, I told this story to the just arriving hotel manager and he said: "Good that you did not ask this question! A true gentleman enjoys and stays silent!"
Everything depends on the "Arbeitsvertrag" (= employment contract) in Germany. It is very free and you can be hired as a hotel slave or almost as it's owner, so you have to be very careful what you are signing. In principle, there are always extra payments for night work, but there are also contracts, in which the payment is automatically included by the definition of the job. I will see the contract first and then I will decide. When I was a student, I have already worked like that and I am still thinking about writing a book on these times.

I even told this to my friendly, beautiful, young and humorous female civil servant at the German "Arbeitsagentur" and she said, if I ever find such a job and being millionnaire, she would start considering about being my escort service!
Mhm, my new "Arbeitsvertrag" looks good, I think, but it could look better, because it really looks like "Arbeit" at night and I would rather like to have much more money and much less "Arbeit", e.g. like a diplomat in some nice small talks in the evening in a luxury hotel, discussing world politics while having sophisticated drinks in beautiful women's company - you know: a German diplomat and millionnaire in James-Bond-style playing at a French roulette table - if possible in Papeete/ Tahiti / French Polynesia - minus everything which could become really dangerous.

I thought: "Ahm!??? What???"
This was the moment, when I thought, I must have landed somehow in an absolutely unrealistic parallel universe, because the usual German civil servant would have told me, it is dangerous to say something like this in a German "Arbeitsagentur"! A male German civil servant probably would have thrown me out of the building, ... but now, I am really thinking about how to become a millionnaire as fast as possible because she is really pretty, obviously a bit naughty and she really seemed to like my silly jokes ...
Well, we will see ...
In any case, the hints and notes of having suddenly landed in a parallel universe are more and more to see.
For example, Germany is really no more the Germany of my youth, I think.
Like in a exaggerated fairy-tale, there once was an allegedly successful German company with the funny name "Wirecard" and two years ago, I even had enough money to think about buying shares of them - but I am somehow too conservative and I am only buying "things" of which I really understand how they work or "things" I can eat or drink, e.g. Coca Cola. I did never really understand how "Wirecard" could have made so much money. Last weekend, the German stock exchange was shocked by the news, that there are about 1.900 MILLIONS Euro missing in the total assets of this company.
The good news for the shareholders: The money was not stolen.
The bad news for them: This money never existed!
These 1.900 millions were most probably only an accountant trick to pump up the assets in order to make this company look like a successful global player.
Now, everyone in Germany seems to be shocked that something like this can happen in Germany and no one seemed ever to have asked, if so much money really existed in the assets of this company!?!
So, the share price curve looks so very "un-German" today as I have never seen before from a German share after WW II:

If this could only be a worldwide coronavirus curve, everyone could be happy.
By the way, this coronavirus again is about to cause headaches for me, because there are two German counties with big slaughterhouses to be locked down again and we Germans can now "proudly" confirm that this virus really loves slaughterhouses with cooled worker's places (5 - 10 degrees Celsius are ideal for corona) where the workers are additionally talking loud because of the noise of the machines there and the breathing air of the workers stays as long in those rooms as the virus loves it. More than confirmed 1.300 new infections in the biggest slaughterhouse company there and the German "Bundeswehr" (army) now controls their company and makes the tests. Whenever you see on TV the German army with their special equipment in front of a slaughterhouse in peace times, you know that something must have gone terribly wrong there ...
Concerning "parallel universes", "terribly wrong" and "curves" ...
I really don't want to spread fear but when I look at the upper curve, I must say, there is also something going terribly wrong with this curve ...

Additionally, there are sometimes "follow-up costs" which are forgotten by the criminals. There once was around 1998 the famous case of a German bank robber who tried to live a nice life in the Dominican Republic, but he did not expect to encounter the corrupt criminal police there, who offered him to stay in his villa, when he would fly back to Germany and rob another German bank twice a year, one loot for him, one loot for the corrupt police. He did this once, then he flew back to Germany and surrendered to the German police and said: "This was against my German crook honor! How deep could I sink, robbing a German bank for a foreign corrupt police? No, they shall go to prison like I will do!"
Funny, isn't it?
