Herta Busch
/Pardon Our Crises
Sometimes we hardly know how visitors can put up with us, what with our politicians and our crises.
It was a relief to see HERTA BUSCH from West Germany finding something to smile about. Was it one of our politicians or one of our crises which tickled her?
"Ha," said Herta, "politicians, no. I tell you, Charley”
"I'm Harry, actually," said the photographer. "Ja, Charley. See, I tell you, I never let politicians tickle me. I laugh more at crises than at politicians, crises more funny than any politician, you think so too, no?"
“You were meaning you never let politicians make you laugh?"
"Ja. I like a good cry when I listen to ours."
"Go on?"
"You too, Charley?" she said.
"Me too. And call me Harry, eh?"
"Sure, Charley. Any time."
