A taxi is called to an address in Cologne.
The driver rings the bell – and out comes a compl-etely n@ked man with a cherry in his mouth.
“I can’t take you like this!” said the taxi driver.
The guest immediately becomes angry.
“Can’t you see I’m in costume? I’m a Mon Chéri and I want to be taken to the masquerade ball now!”
The taxi driver thinks to himself and drives off.
Shortly afterwards, he suddenly has to make an emergency stop. Startled, the passenger swallows the cherry.
He is raging with anger.
“It’s your fault! You’ve ruined my costume! Go to a store immediately and get a new cherry!”
The taxi driver drives to the nearest gas station, goes inside, comes out again shortly afterwards, opens the car door and throws the man a jar of strawberry jam.
The man becomes even more enraged.
“Are you crazy? What am I supposed to do with strawberry jam? I need a cherry!”
To which the taxi driver replied quite dryly:
“We’re out of cherries. Smear the jam on your @ss and go as a Berliner!”
