Strange people do strange things. Aging German millionaire 1 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 2 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.
