The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer.

Schadenfreude:
From Avenue Q, the hilarious traveling broadway show that explains the hard lessons of life in a Sesame Street meets South park manner.

Schadenfreude!
GARY COLEMAN:
People taking pleasure in your pain!
NICKY:
Oh, Schadenfreude, huh?
What’s that, some kinda Nazi word?
GARY COLEMAN:
Yup! It’s German for “happiness at the misfortune of others!”
NICKY:
“Happiness at the misfortune of others.” That is German!
Thought you’d appreciate the humor. 😀
Too funny… 🙂
