I fell for it. I’m a dumbass.

BERLIN, Sept 4 (Reuters) - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz joked that he was eagerly awaiting social media reaction after an official photograph released on Monday showed him wearing an eye patch following a weekend jogging accident.

Ok folks, do we think it was really a jogging accident?

He always wanted to be an actor, this "accident" was his plan all along so he could cosplay while running a country. Brilliant!

Welcome our matey Captain Scholz

Yarrr!

I would prefer for no public figure ever to become the community logo. Especially if it's a political figure.

Captain Olaf was so boring,
When he found a ship to hit,
He spent six months in discussions,
And his pirate crew all quit.

And then he did it again because he forgot the result!

Nah... he is actually and very subtly admitting to be a pastafarian.
