Wild and Provocative

Maybe it has always been like this: The most provocative is the person, who follows his or her vocation no matter what. Then you will be able to even provoke the provocative, or to surprise the civil servant at the registry office (and me!).

As I was standing in line waiting to register myself, the man in front of me requested a Police Clearance Certificat. The civil servant replied that there were two different ones and since the applicant did not know which one was the correct, the civil servant asked him what exactly he needed it for. The man paused a moment and then replied that he wanted to enter a monastery, which dumbfounded both me and the civil servant.
