Edith Hahn Beer Quotes
We told each other every funny story we could think of. One of them stays in my mind. A German citizen wants to commit suicide.

He tries to drown himself, but the percentage of wood in the fabric of his pants is so high that he floats on the surface like a raft. Finally he starves to death from eating official government rations.
