[Phoenix Scholz-Krishna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dieses kleine Buch ist bei uns auf dem Badezimmerregal gelandet, und so habe ich es im Zuge mehrerer Vollbäder wieder mal gelesen. Den eigentlich super finsteren Witz mit dem deutschen Touristen in Paris und seinen Familienfotos (S. 86) habe ich natürlich als Vorschulkind noch nicht verstanden, dafür bewundere ich Loriot jetzt für seine vorzügliche Frechheit den Deutschen gegenüber.
