Spit Knowledge Spit Truth

In times like these in which everyone is forcing his voice to be public, just like I am doing here, it happens rather regularly to find them in open spaces. For someone who is used to personal attacks as soon as something goes wrong, I’m amused by the corporate-body-type-of message found on a bank machine at the Torstrasse:

Ihr dämlicher Automat hat verrückt gespielt, und meine gültige Karte geschluckt, was soll das?! Reparieren sie das 'Scheissding', und Karte wieder her!
Your stupid machine went nuts, and swallowed my valid card, what’s up with that?! Repair the “goddamn thing” and gimme my card back!

But please, can somebody help me to understand this message in heavy dialect?


At least nuclear-power I don’t like either.

    Oh ok, but …
    The other small demographic problem?
    How do you wanna solve that?

    My guess. ;-) Probably hinting at the issue that not enough children are born in German. We all use condoms…

    “Keine faulen Ausreden” means “no lazy excuses”, but “faul” means also rotten, like the banana in the background… No lazy excuses for not using a condom of course.
