The Contempt

The policeman grabbed the ribbon and started to cordon off the crime scene quickly. Her companion was investigating around the body laying when a new patrol arrived with a couple of colleagues inside. I know that I have to tell you what I have seen and my appearance doesn't help, I know...but I have to do it. What happens if they despise me? And what about if they despise me because of who am I?...I don't like the look from the tallest while I am approaching slowly, by dragging my grubby brown jacket...What do you want?, one euro to buy wine?. I return to bank...it is, to go on drinking.(Little stories lyrics)

  1. The policE OFFICER grabbed the ribbon(1) and started to cordon off the crime scene quickly. Her companion was investigating around the body laying ON THE GROUND when a new patrol CAR arrived with a couple of colleagues inside. I know that I have to tell you what I have seen and my appearance doesn't help, I know...but I have to do it. What happens if they despise me? And what about if they DON'T BELIEVE me because of who am I?...I don't like the look from the tallest while I am approaching slowly, [] dragging my grubby brown jacket...What do you want?, one euro to buy wine?. I return to THE bank...it is, to go on drinking.


    (1) We call it "tape". "Ribbon" makes more sense.

    I like that web site, although I don't really understand this story. I should try to write something for it.

  2. Sorry "bank" is wrong, "bench" would be right.
    It is the story about a typical drunk who was sat in a bench and he was witness of the crime but he was despised by a policeman.

  3. That helps.

    Just the other day, I was telling my family that "bank" and "bench" both translated to "banco" in Spanish. We then conjectured on what the relationship could be.

  4. According to I have found, in Spanish the meaning "bank" come from Italy(banca) via France(banque), the meaning "bench" come from Norway(banqui) via Germany(bangk).
    However the lending-money business come from Jewish in Spain who they were disparagingly called "usureros" because they lent money("usura"=credit). Finally it made to them no popular people.
