Eggs Benedikt (Rerun: 19 December 2006)

The St. Sicilia church choir planned a trip to Rome with the Papal audience. Fischer Johann, a second tenor, comes to the hairdresser.

"Can we keep it a bit shorter today than usual?"
"Ok, why though?"
"I am traveling in the coming week to Rome."
"What do you have ahead of you then in your time with the Italians?"
"Details said, our choir has an audience with the Pope."
"Come on, listen to me about this Vatican business. The Pope, the Vatican, Italy and nearly all involved, everything nowadays is going to..."

Three weeks pass, and Fischer Johann appears again at his hairdresser.

"Well, were you in the Vatican?"
"Well clearly."
"Did you see the Pope also?"
"Ya, that's why we went there."
"Well...and? Do tell. He, for instance, what did he say to you personally?"
"He said this much for sure. As I knelt before him, he placed his hand on my head and said: My son,... oh God, who does your hair?!"
