Einem Offiziersanwärter der Bundeswehr zum Beispiel, der von seltsamen Trainingsmethoden berichtet, dem Oberkellner des Hotels Elephant, einem Schiller-Verehrer in kurzen Sporthosen oder einem offenbar leicht wahnsinnigen CDU-Politiker, der erklärt, weshalb Spaghetti mit Tomatensoße das ideale Politiker-Lieblingsgericht ist: "Damit ecken Sie nirgends an - und das Beste ist, die Leute glauben mir, dass ich das selber kochen kann." [G] For example, an officer cadet in the German Federal Armed Forces giving an account of strange training methods, the head waiter from the Hotel Elephant, an admirer of Schiller clad in short sports trousers or a CDU politician, apparently just a little insane, who explains why spaghetti with tomato sauce is an ideal choice as the favourite dish of a politician: "This doesn't put anyone's back up - and the best thing is that people believe me when I say I can cook it myself."

"Man kann Jura studieren oder ein intelligenter Bibliothekar sein und die wahnsinnige Idee haben, Filmemacher werden zu wollen. Wer das wirklich will, dessen Wunsch setzt sich irgendwann durch." [G] "You can study law or be an intelligent librarian and hit upon the insane idea of becoming a filmmaker. If you really want it, you'll achieve your desire at some point."
