Klaus Oppitz - Saugfrast

Be nice and behave! We've all heard that during our childhood. And then it gets confusing. On one hand, you have to maintain appearances, on the other hand, you're not supposed to lie. Shouldn't the pastor at the funeral then tell the truth, that the deceased was actually a complete jerk?

In general, has good behavior ever really brought us anything? While the well-behaved are at best patted on the head, the scoundrels run the world. And play golf in Florida every weekend. Or ride jet skis. On a freshly melted glacier.

Honestly, the puppet show only ever got really exciting when the clown showed up, and even today, in every crime story, the villains are more interesting, while the hero needs at least one alcohol problem, if not two, to keep up. And when Robert Heinrich I, Emperor of Austria, who wrote texts for Klaus Oppitz for years, advises his guests to "be a little nice for once," it goes without saying that he is not nice at all: Nice. And has a lot more fun in life than his subjects.

Klaus Oppitz wants that too now, to be daring, ruthless, cunning, unshaven, to overcome niceness, to leave the choir boy behind. Finally, to be a scoundrel!
