About work

If you address somebody with the name "an ox" in the Czech language, it means that such a person is a blockhead. At the same time, if you change the spelling of the word "volem" (an ox) to "volen," it means "been elected." In this pre-election campaign performance, I held a sign which said "I want to be elected-- I want to be an ox."
