my newspaper fucked up last weekend. apparently there were not enough dead people to stuff the daily death notice page. so the page editor in charge decided to do what is a common habit: complete the page with filler ads. what was the selection at hand? let’s see. what about that german opera the enchanted widow (die lustige witwe)? damn, still more millimeters left. ok, this one fits perfectly: thanks to mekong eye doctors i can see my children again (door mekong eye doctors kan ik mijn kinderen weer zien). pretty unlucky hand if you ask me. (thanks for pointing out dad) (kp)
