A desktop calendar assembled by plumbers.
Pipes from all well-known and less-known manufacturers were ordered for testing purposes. Even NASA sent us intermediate results of their top-secret tube production from space. Tons of material samples still pile up today in the creativity department of the development team. Countless types of pipes were assembled, disassembled, bent, contorted, and discarded until they ultimately settled on a skin-friendly, odor-free, and extremely affordable tube material that a small inventor from the Swabian region produces in small series.
It was a great pleasure to continuously test new combinations with these pipes. It's unbelievable what one can do with seven days a week and twenty-eight, sometimes twenty-nine, thirty or thirty-one days a month. Oh, if only the inventor of the monthly calendar could have witnessed it all.
Multiple months of hard work in the preparation phase and then finally, the realization of a unique, magnificent, ingenious, I'm lost for words... A calendar that the world had never seen before. Yes, this was how it was supposed to be - but it all turned out differently!
Maybe it was the months filled with euphoria, maybe it was the outlook on the dull life after this calendar? Maybe it was the heat of this summer or maybe the people were just overworked? What had happened? What did we deserve this for? Dozens of highly qualified and highly paid employees had simply disappeared, and no one knew where they had gone to. But we will find them! And then they will experience something!
So, with the meager remaining staff, we got to work... All that came out of it was this tiny, sloppily put together desktop calendar that features clumsy and idiotic plumbers doing something that no reasonable person would call work. Nothing fits together, pipes are mashed together, threads are ruined, it's a complete mockery! It's leaking here, there's a missing piece there. Someone falls over again, someone else is taking a shower instead of working, and over there someone is fooling around with his girlfriend. So many expensive material tests and then noble high-tech pipes are hammered into shape. It's unbearable to watch!
We could have been so proud of this program. If you want to download it, who can stop you? Go ahead! But it would have been better if we never released it in the first place. Okay, it's already out there now, so feel free to download it quickly, test it, maybe we'll take it off the server tomorrow... If, despite everything, you still want to buy 'The Klempner 2002' software, go ahead: Until September 30, 2001, the full version costs only 11 euros, after that, it's 14 euros - if the program is even still available by then.
