Super-Beitrag, mehr davon..... :heart:

Kennst Du denn Klaus Schulze?

Auf besonderen Wusch noch ein paar Fotos:

Guter Mann, der Klaus!

Guter Mann, der Klaus!

Unser Klaus?

WER BITTE IST KLAUS SCHULZE?

Der Schulze hat eine Fahrschule in Hallenberg, gemeinsam mit dem dicken Udo!

Ich singe hin und wieder mal eine Schulze, aber jetzt ist Schulz mit den billigen Witzen:

WER KENNT DEN MANN?

.... ob das 'ne Umfrage wert ist?

Er ist einer der ganz Großen!!!
