Smile and be happy, it could get worse!

2nd Quote of the Week 43

"Smile and be happy, it could get worse!"
― Otto Waalkes

„Und aus dem Chaos sprach eine Stimme zu mir :

Lächle und sei froh, es könnte schlimmer kommen!

Und ich lächelte und war froh - und es kam schlimmer."

― Otto Waalkes


Alternative translation:

"Out of the gloom a voice said unto me
“Smile and be happy, things could be worse.”
So I smiled and was happy and behold things did get worse."
