[00:00.49]When the Ambassador or Escalopia returned home for lunch, his wife got a shock.
[00:07.09]He looked pale and his clothes were in a frightful state.
[00:12.09]'What has happened?' she asked. 'How did your clothes get into such a mess?'
[00:18.88]'A fire extinguisher, my dear,' answered the Ambassador drily.
[00:24.33]University students set the Embassy on fire this morning.
[00:28.89]'Good heavens!' exclaimed his wife. 'And where were you at the time?'
[00:36.76]'I was in my office as usual,' answered the Ambassador.
[00:41.75]The fire broke out in the basement. I went down immediately, of course,
[00:48.18]and that fool, Horst, aimed a fire extinguisher at me.
[00:53.54]He thought I was on fire.
[00:56.00]I must definitely get that fellow posted.
[01:00.44]The Ambassador's wife went on asking questions, when she suddenly noticed a big hole in her husband's hat.
[01:09.36]'And how can you explain that?' she asked.
[01:14.16]'Oh, that,' said the Ambassador.
[01:17.60]Someone fired a shot through my office window.
[01:21.33]Accurate, don't you think?
[01:23.43]Fortunately, I wasn't wearing it at the time.
[01:26.56]If I had been, I would not have been able to get home for lunch.
