| A nice chat about a true story ! |

|
Oliver |
I have a nice story, you have 5 minutes? |
|
|
| Derek | sure | ||
| Oliver | we visited some friends of Karen and Joe in the suburbs | ||
| Derek | ok | 
|
|
| Oliver | They had a big house with three children, it was really cool, three stores, cable TV (I could even watch the Montreal formula 1 race) | ||
| Derek | ok | 
|
|
| Oliver | Yasmin was playing with a childrens kitchen, a really big one | ||
| Oliver | and it turned out, that they don't need this kitchen any longer and we could have it | ||
| Derek | u brought it back? |  
|
|
| Oliver | a week later, Joe and me transported the kitchen to Richmond, it just did fit in the trunk and we went to a parcel service | ||
| Derek | ok | ||
| Oliver | They mentioned the only way to get it to Germany is melt it down | ||
| Derek | melt | ||
| Oliver | beside this cool tip we went to US postal SERVICE |  
|
|
| Derek | ok | ||
| Oliver | and could convince them to send it to Germany | ||
| Derek | cost? | ||
| Oliver | After packaging the whole thing (we were in a hurry, because the post was about to close), the supervisor decided ... | ||
| Oliver | that the package is 10 inch to big | 
|
|
| Oliver | no change... | ||
| Derek | ok | ||
| Oliver | so we decided to take the package to the airport | ||
| Oliver | after a long discussion at check-in Lufthansa was about to accept this as laguage, but... | 
|
|
| Oliver | again the supervisior was not very pleased ... | ||
| Derek | and | ||
| Oliver | and I had to pay 105 US$ for extended laguage | ||
| Derek | ok | 
|
|
| Oliver | in the meantime, the police | ||
| Derek | and they accepted? | ||
| Oliver | towed away our rental car | ||
| Oliver | yes Lufthansa did accept it, but the car was gone | 
|
|
| Derek | and | ||
| Oliver | It is quite a complex process to get the car back ... | ||
| Oliver | but we still had some of our belonging in the car | ||
| Oliver | PM started | 
|
|
| Oliver | You need 50 dollars in cash | ||
| Oliver | ATM | ||
| Derek | ok | ||
| Oliver | you have to go to the tow away SERVICE | 
|
|
| Derek | ok | ||
| Oliver | you have to convince them to drive you to the rental company (This is violating the rules) | ||
| Oliver | Then you have to convinience the rental car manager to help you | ||
| Derek | ok | 
|
|
| Oliver | then the tow away SERVICE and the rental car manager have to drive you to the car (about 10 miles oneway) | ||
| Oliver | then you can pick-up your stuff | ||
| Derek | my god | ||
| Oliver | then the rental car manager has to drive you back to the airport and has to take care of the car. | 
|
|
| Oliver | You have to give the rental car manager the money for the tow away service | ||
| Oliver | We made it | ||
| Oliver | Catch our flight | ||
| Oliver | then we only had some discussions with German customs (what is in the box, what is it worth) | 
|
|
| Oliver | After this you only have to catch a big enough cab. | ||
| That is a true story about a true American
kitchen |

Happy End (Yasmin's second Birthday)
