Friendship Life Philosphical Psychological

Rainer Tiemann

Heaven and Hell

Tim, a good friend of us, will have his sixtieth anniversary in a few days time. He still works as a priest.

Yesterday we went to the wonderful "Kö", an exclusive shopping area in Düsseldorf, looking for a funny birthday present. In one of the windows of a special shop with china goods, we saw a nice bowl with an interesting text. It might be the right choice for Tim.

And that's why we like to inform you on this choice - just to put a little smile on your face:

Heaven is where the police are British,
the cooks French,
the mechanics German,
the lovers Italian,
and it is all organised by the Swiss.

Hell is where the chefs are British,
the mechanics French,
the lovers Swiss,
the police German,
and it is all organised by the Italians.

We bought this bowl for our friend, hoping Tim would have pleasure and will smile like you do. Do you really? Or are you not a good European?

The author

Book by Rainer Tiemann:

Schwerenöter - Gereimtes und Ungereimtes von Rainer Tiemann

Wenn jemand eine Reise tut, so kann er was erzählen. Nach diesem Motto sind viele Gedanken und Erlebnisse im neuen Buch "Schwerenöter" des Leverkusener Autors Rainer Tiemann festgehalten. Gereimt und ungereimt werden Geschehnisse des täglichen Lebens und autobiografische Erlebnisse mal ernst, mal heiter, aber immer menschlich beleuchtet. Sollten die unterschiedlichen Themen des Buches dazu anregen, sich erneut mit Lyrik zu befassen oder über sich und die Beziehungen zum Mitmenschen nachzudenken, wäre ein wichtiger Sinn dieses Buches erfüllt.

Hat man allzeitlich genug Zaster
ist die Kö kein „Expensive“ Pflaster,

„just to put a little smile on your face“! Richtig Rainer und liebe Grüße Dir der Franz

Dear Rainer,

you are so right with your charakterisation of certain nationalities.
Especially what the eating habits of the english and french concerns.

Nice article,

best wishes,
Karl-Heinz

Thanks, Rainer,
I enjoyed this very much.
I think the choice was quite appropriate for your friend!
We all need something to smile about, especially during the last days...
