36 - 33 - Beneschunter den Narren President Benesch once visited a lunatic institution. The guard had taught the fools that they had to receive the head of state with the greeting "Heil Benesch"! The fools also did how they had been charged with it. Since the guard himself remained silent, the president asked him why he did not call out "Heel Benesch!". "I am not a fool!" was the answer of the madman.
