fliegende Teppiche (als Metapher gebraucht)


Explanation:
Ich weiß ja nicht, wie "bierernst" der ganze Text ist, aber ich habe den Ausspruch "He's got a licence for ... and flying carpets" schon gehört im Sinne von "... und so ziemlich alles andere, was man sich vorstellen kann."

Könnte das gemeint sein?

Gruß, Ulrike
