Napoleon or Mathias?

If you could be one person from history who would it be?

MATHIAS:  Ever since I was a little boy, I've looked like Napoleon. When we read about Napoleon in school my classmates discovered that I looked like Napoleon and I was immediately called Napoleon. As usual when you get a nickname you first get annoyed but pretty soon you get used to it and accept it.

Nowadays I feel a strong sense of community with the old Napoleon and sometimes I wonder if I'm not a reincarnation of him.

The real one


A jumping night mare

Cindy, why are you trying to jump?

What is your worst night mare?

CINDY: I have a dream that constantly recurs: I'm standing high on a cliff and prepare myself to do a backwards jump like that from a trampoline.

Then I wake up terrified and soaking with sweat.

I do not know what the dream means, and I do not want to know.
My boyfriend says it is because I'm afraid of losing him!

I will never make that jump so there certainly is no reason to find out what it is about.

Thinking just confuses me

Beef, Chicken, or Pork?

ALBERT:  I wouldn't know about that, it takes me some time to figure out.

My wife always says: Albert! Don’t think, you’ll just get confused

When is it time to change your dreams?

Marie in audition

What profession would you choose today if you could choose freely?

MARIE: I want to be a singer-songwriter. I participate in all types of idol competitions, but at each audition, so far, the judges have just laughed at me and asked me not to come back!

But this is my only dream, I can not live without a dream, so I continue stubbornly to believe in myself as a successful singer.

And one day, sometime, somehow ... and until this happens, it is OK to laugh at me!

Being powerful and humble

If you would have a new pet what would it be and what would you call it?

PETER:  I like big animals. I would like a huge elephant. That would be cool and impressive. It would make me the coolest guy in the neighborhood.

And to not completely destroy my friends and to be a bit humble, I'd call him Mr. Small.



How to ask the right question

What are you going to do when you retire?

SANDRA: What kind of question is that?! I do not even know what I should retire from!

First of all, your job as a journalist must be loose. You should think about what you are gonna do when retiring, because that will be very soon!

Journalists are pest!
