Released hostage demanding more
Susanne Osthoff, the recently purchased (oops) I mean, released native hostage is now apparently refusing to return to Germany. Informed Iraqi sources have informed informative native informants that she is in fact holding out for an undisclosed six-figure figure before possibly considering a short vacation home maybe.
“The Christmas season can be very stressful up there in Germany,” our informant tells us, “and Frau Osthoff is momentan total ausgepowered (completely burned-out at the moment) and the weather up there really sucks this time of year too you know and she is not on the best terms with her family anymore either so she’s going to stay here a bit longer if not indefinitely, unless of course...”, he said, interrupted temporarily by a nearby car bombing, “unless, of course, the German government is finally prepared to put something a little more substantial on the table… this time.”
“Zis in not at all uncommon,” later commented famed Near East expert Peter Scholl-Latour who has consistently been voll daneben (off the mark) with every prediction he has ever made about anything ever, “Most freed hostages are reluctant to return to a life of calm and zecurity after such an exciting experience. Und about zis payoff polemic. It is common knowledge that everyone pays ransom…”
Frau Osthoff was not immediately available for comment on any of this but has let it be known that her agent is now taking calls.
“Eigentlich zahlen alle.”

to explain an US
citizen or even a
French "citoyen"
what was till now
going on as tops in the head of the
first captured and then released German Lady Susan Osthoff ? In the beginning she,
Osthoff, was trashed by most Germans.
But now after an ink revolution with Letters to the Editor of newspapers and nowadays
more and more on blogs the trash trend
towards Lady Susanne Osthoff turns.
... it seems now that the German folks
after the 1st
of january 2006
finally are more and more
interested what
Osthoff has to
say about Iraq. (Comment this)
