Strange people do strange things. Aging German millionaire Walter Thiele certainly fits the bill.
Recently, he put advertisements in newspapers to find someone to "look after" his wife and his fortune afterhe dies. Needless to say, thousands of letters poured in from all over the world. Some young men even showedup at Walter's home. Once, when he opened the door, a young man said, "I want to marry your wife."If you think that's funny,so does Walter. The problem is he isn't getting much sleep. So in order to getaway for a while, he's taking his beautiful young wife on a round-the-world trip. Well, I guess it takes allkinds of people to make up the world.
