Same Procedure as Every Year

If counted well the Germans today can/could watch Dinner for One (The 90th Birthday) 13 times at different times on various TV-channels, and apart from the original in various German dialects, inclusive Schwiizerdütsch (Swiss German). Very strange folks, the Germans. Well, judge for yourself. 

Tiny tip-off: Be absolutely determined not to laugh.

Beers & Books CLXXIX – Italo Svevo

È un modo comodo di vivere
quello di credersi grande
di una grandezza latente.
*
    It is comfortable to live
in the belief that you are great,
though your greatness is latent.

Aron Hector Schmitz
(19 December 1861 – 13 September 1928)
