Here we are in the shank of the German festival of Fasching (aka Karneval), a huge blow-out party which culminates next Tuesday, and everyone is getting in on the act-- bars are putting up celebratory balloons and streamers, bakeries are selling Krapfen (donuts), stores are flogging costumes (Fasching is a bit of an amalgamation of Easter, Mardi Gras and Halloween)... so why can't pharmacies get a piece of the action too? My local pharmacy, known in German as an Apotheke (also known to expats as "those drug stores that don't actually sell drugs") always seems to have some amusing and interesting window displays-- somebody please remind me in summer to get photos of the Frisbee-sized plastic ticks used for the herbal Lyme disease med displays-- has this clown pimping a walker. Now, clowns are almost universally associated with Fasching/Karneval, so why not spice up the usual boring window display with, um, a clown that needs assistance in walking???
