The neins
I’m in a bit of a bind because I need a little cash. Well, it’s actually a little more than a little. It’s less than a lot but more than a little. And Will’s broke, as usual. It’s complicated. Let me explain.
It’s like this: The natives like to say nein. Sometimes it’s a little nein and sometimes it’s a big nein but, generally speaking, it’s nein. They said nein to the war in Iraq, didn’t they? They said nein to real political reform here, didn’t they (the grand coalition)? They say nein to the closure of old factories. They say nein to the construction of new factories. They say nein to the service industry and service industry thinking and nein to practically any form of new technology out there you can think of. They say nein to low wages. They say nein to high wages or payoffs - if you’re a manager. They say nein to the further extension of the European Union. They would say nein to the EU or its constitution itself if they hadn’t already thought ahead and said nein to the possibility of ever being asked in the first place. Oh yeah, they say nein to the American way of life. But they say nein to the German way of life at the same time.
And that’s what makes all of this about the little cash I need so complicated. I’m considering asking Hermann if he’ll loan me some.
