how about this one (it's a perfect german word, but I don't
know if there exist such a person that it describes ...)

I let this as an exercise to the reader to find out what
this means :-)
ok, I try to explain it
This is the wife of a secretary of the chairman of the executive commitee of
the board of directors of the representative person of a
battery reprocessing plant who is authorised to make/sign a contract
got it ? -- I hope I get this somehow translated with the correct meaning
btw: the bablefish translator f*cked up on this word
even on parts of this word I got nice error messages
I really can't see why :-))
