Laughing Lhursday*

Congress on the subject of ‘Time Management’ in Vienna. A German and a Japanese on their way to the underground. The German says: "If we hurry, we'll catch the next train." Both start running.
On the train, they both sink into their seats, panting. The German wipes the sweat from his forehead and gasps: "Ten minutes saved!"
Asks the Japanese: "And what are we now going to do with the ten minutes?"


* [For first time visitors]:

Typo in the title?
Nah. It's just that I would not
let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

  3. The Japanese person has a point. I wonder whether gender has something to do with that...

    1. At best in so far as women would hardly come up with such ideas. ;-)

    1. Ah, Hilary. How glad I am having managed to rescue you out of Blogger's dungeon of oblivion. ;-)
      Humboldt was indeed an amazing man. Which book are you reading?
      Good to see you, too ... to put it mildly.
