Horst Evers - Seen this way, of course, it's funny.

Let's not beat around the bush. The world is a pitiful place. Something is constantly happening that makes us tired, perplexed, or angry. Or all four at once. The fourth thing it does to us, as I write this, is not even known yet. But by the time you read this, there will surely have been something else. You know it yourself. In that sense, it’s almost surprising how much very funny stuff still happens relentlessly. However, you might not always notice it if no one tells you about it. That’s what this program is about. About stories that are told and read aloud. By me. Just like always. Only that these are new stories. Set in the here and now. And still very funny. Or perhaps precisely because of that. Additionally, there are tips on how to make things nice for yourself despite everything.

For example, I have been preparing smaller meals on my head for my wife for some time now. She can then eat them directly off my bald head. Only a few people do that. It feels surprisingly good to have things eaten off your head. Of course, you need a suitable hairstyle to keep it appetizing. But if you have the options, it’s a fine thing. There are only winners. At least, if you pay attention to offering warmer foods on your head in winter and cooler ones in summer. It’s also advisable not to offer anything that requires a knife and fork to eat. But even if something goes wrong, as the saying goes: "Nothing in this world is as communicative as a band-aid on the head."

But that’s already going too far. The program will, of course, be much funnier than this text. Thank God. To be precise, I don’t actually know the program yet. But I’m already very much looking forward to it. In that sense, it is indeed funny. "By chance, he discovers the fantastic in the everyday.
