GABROVSKI HUMOR by unknow autor traslated by Ann Wood

GABROVSKI HUMOR
In the past, and now, being born in Gabrovo is something like a privilege. The Gabrovians are able to save and bargain because the sparingly flow in their veins; they know how nothing is achieved - a priceless lesson from their ancestors, but if a crisis is set - they start to make their sense of humor, because they do not have anything else to do. This is the most saving and witty part of the Bulgarian population and there are numerous anecdotes. It is they who created the phenomenon "Gabrovo humor", which is alive and healthy today.
"They say that the Gabrovians are cutting cats' tails in order to close their door more quickly and not to cool their own." This is why the black-tailed cat has become a permanent symbol of Gabrovo.
It is also said that they put taps on the eggs so that they drain as much as they need - a whole egg is a lot for a soup! "

"... that at night they stop their watches, so that their charts are not scarce."

"... that they put green hats on their horses when they are poured into the crèches by the shreds of the lathe - to think it is hay."

"... they are also sweating in the masters and in the bargain."

"... when they eat tea, they heat the knives - it can not be taken with the butter."

"... in order not to pay a chimney sweep, they run the cat through the chimney with a keen newspaper in the queue."

"... when the world begins to talk about something, it is already done in Gabrovo." And many, many anecdotes, told by Gabrovians about Gabrovo. A small number of them are collected in the book "Gabrovo anecdotes", translated into more than 20 languages, which is a special ambassador of the DHS worldwide and successfully opening doors, hearts and minds.
A selection of all this wealth of local humorous folklore is contained in the famous GABROVSKI SHEGI book, translated into 20 languages ​​and published in 43 editions.
In 2005, a team of specialists at the House of Humor and Satire prepared a new edition of Gabrovo jokes and anecdotes entitled "GABROVSKI HUMOR, anecdotes and jokes about Gabrovo." The compilers of the collection are ethnologists. Tatyana Tsankova and Veneta Kozareva. The design and illustrations are made by the artist Yordanka Shiyakova. The book "GABROVSKI HUMOR, anecdotes and jokes about Gabrovo" was published in French, German, Russian and English in translation by Darina Marinchevska, Stefka Boeva, Anelia Tsankova, Veneta Kozareva and Galina Boneva. All the editions of the collection can be found at the souvenir stand at the House of Humor and Satire. The creators of the book hope that it will bring real pleasure to fans of Gabrovo humor.

In the summer of 2008 the GABROVSKI HUMOR edition became accessible to all blind people in Bulgaria.
