The Bavarian cabinet is proposing a law allowing cars to be washed on Sundays and holidays. But only in the afternoons, you understand, so as not to interfere with church attendance. This is something like progress.
Now, since on average 7 percent of Germans attend services on Sundays, you may well ask what about the other 93 percent? And what of the residents for whom Friday or Saturday may be the week’s holy day? Well, you may well ask, but that doesn’t mean there are any good answers. But thank, er, Someone, for that old separation of church and state.
Seperation of Church and State? In Bavaria?
What exactly did you take and can I get some?
This is perfectly understandable. After all, cars are the second religion in Bavaria. Any regulations in which attire you’re allowed to wash your car on Sunday? Lederhosen anyone?
As I read the post, at first I thought it was a joke – but, it seems to be real, the Passauer Neue Presse has a longer story about the examinations done before the CSU decided it would be not harming Christian values.

To get an answer if it disturbs the church, they really drove to Rome. Thanks a lot, Doug, for pointing this out.
