In a stunt to encourage social distancing, a German restaurant gave its diners hats with pool noodles upon its reopening.

Cafe & Konditorei Rothe in Schwerin, Germany reopened last week as the country begins to lift certain coronavirus restrictions.

It posted a photo of its diners on Facebook, showing them in straw hats with colorful pool noodles pointing in three different directions to encourage social distancing from all sides.

"In these difficult times it's a pleasure to make others smile," restaurant owner Jacqueline Rothe said about the stunt, according to The New York Post.

“Heimie - I don’t feel so well. Lets go home.”

“Okay, let me just take our hats back so the next person can use them.”

Hmmmmm.... maybe the gigantic Southern Belle prom dress will make a comeback. Built-in social distancing.

They laughed about the fashion’s excesses in 1860, but it could work now:

They actually used them for smuggling weapons during the Civil War.

Crap. What happens when German social distancing becomes a need for Lebensraum again?

And upon reading that first question the French government moved to Vichy again.
