non serious fun stuff !

The last entry was a bit too heavy and informative so I thought I will be very funny in this.
Starting with A's "apply apply, no reply!" That's the common slogan for our mails to the many professors of Frei university asking to meet them. After many  silent mail boxes we found out that we had to write to secretaries for appointment. The we got " apply apply, one reply" from the director of the phil dept for oct 21st at 3! Better not forget that date!
 Then we tried Humboldt University and wrote a number of letters, very happy to see very important profs there and then realized that it was Humboldt Univ in USA, not the Berlin Humboldt!!! OOPS...

WE are singing Dank-ke sooon like the checkout lady at the penny markt who says it so musically. Means "Thank you beautifully" Kind of "Shundar danyavaad." A started it and now every one chants it often.


Shower time drama:

Pick up clothes, shower cream, body lotion, shower cap on the head. Balance everthing in one hand , lock the room take key along. Check corridor for others...




No one?
Good. Afternoon clear for bath.
Rush to Bathroom at end of corridor.
Use key again and lock main door. If you remember there are no dead bolts only keys.








Run water( to test temperature first) on the shower. No tap outlet in there, only shower, so get head out of the way.

 Balance shower cream tube on top of tap.
It falls.
Pick it up and achieve equilibrium.

Get in to shower. Shower decides to slide down shiny pipe fitting.
 Make a grab at the shower head, elbow clangs against the cubicle wall.
Shower cream tube fall down.
 Replace shower head, tighten the clasp on the shiny tube, Shower head is soapy!
Try rinsing it, accidentally elbow presses against the shower tap. The water stops.
Give up and begin watering one self.




RED RED shower curtain blows inward  and envelopes body.
 Oops that's because the air -vent fan is above cubicle on the outside,  so it draws in wind in to the bathroom that pushes the red curtain in to the 3 ft by 3ft shower cubicle. Notice the strong bent towel rod ,  outside, the shower cubicle!






Stop! some knocking on the door! OMG
Go way... Pleeze. Prayers and loud shower sounds.
 Knocking stops.
Resume ablutions.

 Open curtain partially to manange air pressure.
 Bend down to scrub toes.
oops water stops. Head hit the tap.
 oof. Red curtain  clings to the behind. Fight shower tap,  scramble out from the loving embrace of the red shower curtain.


Drip out of the cubicle. Dry with towel warmed on the hot water heater. ( the white stripes in the Pic)  Generously cream the skin.Wear layers of clothes. One more bath ceremony done!!






Gimme my bucket and mug  some one....
