    The train station in our town was supposed to be renovated for Expo 2000. Apparently they’re still looking for a shovel.

    P.S. What happened to the Maultaschen?

    Well, they’re not doing too badly - it certainly didn’t look like that 2 years ago.

    And there are now three packs of maultaschen in my fridge. The others I, er, gave to the poor and hungry, yes, that was it….

    Mark: I suspected that you’d suspect that I knew what you meant.
    “Wouldn’t let it lie?”, “Take no prisoners?” There’s some kind of comedy catchphrase in there that I suspect I’m meant to pick up on…..
