"Save water, drink Champagne"

And now for a public service announcement. My parents are on holidays in Berlin and my father took this picture. I have seen the exact same message on internet memes, but never in the flesh, so to speak, on a chalkboard on the pavement. As a meme, it is kind of funny, on display like this in the real world, I actually find it hilarious. I don't know why. Maybe because it looks more real? Maybe because it is in Berlin and I rarely think of German as particularly funny people (and I know it is a stupid prejudice I have). Anyway, Champagne is not my drink of choice, albeit I can enjoy it, like I can enjoy any fizzy drink in the right circumstances. But I'm ready to do my share to save water and drink Champagne, if it needs to be done. What about you?

I'm willing to sacrifice myself for the cause as well.
