A crooked dog doesn’t necessarily have four legs. On the contrary, it is extremely rarely an animal with orthopedic problems. A crooked dog can be a twisted wooden board, a radish that is difficult to cut into spirals and sometimes also a person whose character is not quite straight. However, all of those named in this way have one thing in common: Their difference triggers an amazement that often turns into open anger, but sometimes also into secret admiration. You can even do good business with some crooked dogs – which brings us to the Munich CSU.
No, not what you think. The City Council has submitted a motion to offer the people of Munich “fruit and vegetables outside the norm”., at their own special market stalls. It’s about food waste and climate protection, who should say no? What’s more, the company that is brought into play as a possible operator claims to be selling “what we were just able to salvage from the field”.
A cooperation with real heroes? Promotional material shows some of those rescued: dented peppers and turnips with two turnip noses. Only, with this saving it is not far away. The endives and cabbages have often discussed this in their ecumenical Bible study group: “Whoever wants to save his life will lose it,” says Mark 8:35. And truly, I tell you: There is no paradise for a potato, at most puree.
With the other Markus and his CSU, they are also rather far away from paradisiacal conditions. Key word: crooked dog people. You really need to distract yourself from them. A reorientation as a fruit and vegetable savior party, that would be something. And what’s more, it’s so positively occupied, so energetic and full of relish. Very different from this sausage and meat ban party, which is currently sharing the town hall with the Reds. Speaking of which, one could bring a breath of fresh air into the election campaign: artichokes instead of red socks – what a slogan! And once the absolute majority has been secured, Marienplatz becomes a field. And then the excesses really start.
