[AT] Spontaneous Tractor Show

[Roger Welsch]

I keep telling my Danish friend here, Mattias, that we Germans have tried
again and again to rescue them from the ravages of the monarchy...but small
thanks WE get!  I can also get a discussion going when I remark that Denmark
is the dairy province of Germany.  A woman not far from here once tried to
hire a guy to shoot her husband...and of course he turned out to be a cop.
I asked Lovely Linda if she would ever hire anyone to shoot me...and she
said absolutely not...she'd just go up to town and ask for volunteers.  She
could probably sell chances to all those [FILL IN THE BLANK]sens.
