man trägt ihn wieder it's come back into fashion! Explanation: It's the patients black humour -Galgenhumor- in German. If something is fashionable, everybody is wearing it. The appendix isn't an essential organ, so we can all live without it, but he'd like to keep it. Hence the joke. Sorry, it's hard to explain humour .... |
