German residents have declared a state of emergency

The day after the Brexit referendum fiasco…

Can’t resist sending the photo below from a Facebook post by a Facebook friend (nice neighbour in real life), under the good old German motto: »Humor ist, wenn man trotzdem lacht«.

The caption on Facebook was:
Remaining German residents* have declared a state of emergency, and claimed asylum on the closest thing to a sun lounger. Emergency reservation towels are on order“.

*The ‘residents’ are miniature schnauzers.
