Botswana offers to send 20k elephants to Germany
- reify 3y agoReminds me of some old poems my grand father used to recite. With artistic licence and creativity. There was a young man from Neuschwanstein Castle Who received a neatly wrapped parcel In it was shit, On it was writ A present from our elephants arseholes
- Arnt 3y ago"Let's sabotage the work of the people who do well" is a long tradition. At one of the companies where I worked we got a lot of complaints about a certain thing. We got those because we were best, in the eyes of the complainers. We were closest to what they wanted, so they complained to us and hoped to make us do exactly what they wanted. Their complaints didn't come across exactly as intended. I imagine the German minister didn't exactly intend to make life hard for the good people of Botswana, and didn't think much about the difference between intent and effect, even if the latter was easily predictable, and I'm sure it was predicted by someone in her ministry.
