~ Trag deinen Affen mit Geduld ~ | |
The monkey (Affen) (cognate is "ape") is the symbol of a hangover and the one on the set-on lid is holding a stein of Hofbräu beer probably not the first of the day. This relief stein is marked "1199 Germany 8", ca. 1900. | |
Trag deinen Affen mit Geduld in dem bist du nun selber Schuld. |
Bear your "hangover" with patience (because) you only have yourself to blame. |
