You might know, that I work for the North Elbian Church from time to time. Today, my fellow co-worker and me wanted to set up technical equipment for an upcoming symposium at a church in St. Pauli. After we had managed to get hold of a car driver, who parked in the fire brigade access of the church, (he sat in a nearby pub) and found the right one of a dozen different keys, we parked our car in the church yard and entered the building. As it was already late in the evening it was very dark inside. At that moment it would have been helpful had we received an introduction to the light system of the church earlier. Luckily, I spotted a fuse box next to the entrance and we had a look. There were only three fuses that were turned off. We quickly turned them on. The light will enlighten us any second now, we thought. But nothing happened at all. The church was still very dark. Instead of seeing light, we suddenly heard jingles above our head. At midnight. OK, it was not really midnight, but it felt like midnight. We quickly turned off the fuses again, but the jingles didn’t stop until half a minute later. Very embarrassing situation…
