That was quite surreal. It reminded me of the parody of a German folk tale, “The Woodsman and his Hairy Daughters”, by Tony Hendra.
The story ended up: “Immediately the woodsman, invoking the name of the adder’s second head, became a bear and, catching up the hedgehog, threw it into the air, whereupon it became a woodpecker and pecked out the eyes of the head, which spat out the lips of his first daughter, which ordered the thousand pieces of the third daughter’s body to dance forevermore. Meanwhile the bear became a wild duck and flew away with the poisoned herring, and the severed head ate itself.”
Whoever came up with that must have gorged himself on those funny spotted mushrooms growing out in the Schwartzwald.
