Purchase of airline financed by loan, or, “Got a euro, guv’nor?”

I read an interesting article (in German) this morning through AvantGo on my PDA…

The airline “Deutsche BA” was sold to Hans Rudolf Wöhrl for the symbolic price of one euro. However, when he arrived at the notary public’s office, he found that he didn’t have enough small change—and had to borrow a euro from an interpreter who was present for the negotiations.

He later quipped, “And so I must confess that I financed the purchase through a loan.”

I think I saw Christina in a skirt for the first time today. What she was wearing looked rather nice (sometimes she chooses clothes that are a bit on the drab side), and I told her I liked it.

What I also found interesting was that the bottom part could be zipped off; I had previously seen something like that only on sleeves and trouser legs, not on skirts.
