Wolf and his good friend Karl decided to go to the cinema. They noticed that their theater seat assignments were printed on the tickets, even though the entire viewing area appeared to be empty but for the two of them. They proceeded to sit in the center of the middle row of the theater. Moments before the film began, a nervous-looking, older woman came in and sat down immediately to the right of Karl, despite the fact that many other seats were obviously available, there being only the three of them in the entire theater. The woman seemed to be agitated, and kept glancing furtively at Karl and Wolf.
About halfway into the film's showing, Karl, overcome with curiosity, asked the woman, "
Entschuldegen Sie bitte, is there anything the matter,
meine Dame?"
"You are sitting in my assigned seat," the woman replied.
Whereupon Karl and Wolf looked at their tickets and realized their error.
