Hi Captain,

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (kind of our national poet) wrote in 1811 that
poem:


Annonce

Ein Hündchen wird gesuchet,
Das weder murrt noch beißt,
Zerbrochene Gläser frißt
Und Diamanten...



Can't translate it in rhymes,
Maybe Bernd can...


Best!
Martin

Hi Bernd,
In the 60s I imagined and yearned for a pet between the size of a
hamster and a rabbit that would eat plastic and poop hashish.
Of course I now have no doubt that the state of my memory is at
least in part due to so many wild oats sewn in those days
Always great to hear of adventures from our esteemed German
Representative. 
Warmest regards, Michael

Oh, girls and boys! Just back  from my voyage to Gebel Kamil on Voyage 
Botanica ...
Wish I had my  Dukatenesel handy as we say in German. A Dukatenesel is 
a fairy
story  character, a donkey that ... well, whose droppings are coins. All 
you have to  do
is tell that nice and friendly creature how many coins you need,  
and, presto... :-)

Coins huh? Well, I guess that beats dropping  bricks. Which whenever I did 
something wrong, that's what I ended up doing.
