At the top, in the ranking of audacity level to open the door of the cupboard of the containers, these days is @HdeHelena_RM, for stating that Madrid has won the League “despite everything and everyone” – with all the impudence –, and the satirical account of the Balearic Balcony Federation, which in X refuses to include in its new classification of tourists who fall/jump from balconies a man thrown by another. “With the participation of third parties it is not valid. It has to be by will and/or one’s own stupidity,” he warns. Controversial decision, without VAR review, but one that must be abided by.
Years go by and the jokey Federació Balear de Balconing is still in charge of announcing when the summer season really begins. “The day has come. Tomorrow I’ll put on shorts,” says @quimmonzo in response to the news that the first tourist of the year has fallen off the cliff, this time a German.
Only the nationality of the dead person prevents the writer from fulfilling point by point the anthological advice of @SantiLiebanaR, which proposes that the saying of “until May 40, don’t take off your tunic” be changed to “fins que no anglès caigui, no.” you treguis res.” “One pigeon does not make a summer,” said Cruyff, who due to his skinnyness has competed with Menotti, who died recently. An Englishman does make summer. In fact, the federation was activated on April 6 because the first accident victim was British.
But not everyone sees it that way. There are those who think that more than summer, the true spring is announced. @Pablo__Machuca says this about the headline “First balcony” of the ABC: “We already announced it as if it were the cherry blossom season.”
The Twitter community applauds the @botquebota account – username for this federation. His humor touches the dead and makes comedy of misfortunes. A delicate terrain to joke without rushing. The person who has best explained the reason for this approval has been the anthropologist José Mansilla: “Under the guise of humor, the Balearic Balconing Federation puts emphasis on these facts, pointing out their false consideration of normality.” Laughter, furthermore, is especially pleasant when it has a transgressive point.
Meanwhile, we are already in the first days of May and the British are not helping to put the joke aside: the Mirror warns that they are angry because the price of alcohol has increased in the Balearic Islands and they threaten not to spend their holidays there. “Close the balconies when you leave,” invites @anyanez91. It seems that by increasing the shopping basket we also risk a plummet in tourists. There is no solution.
