People have always been weird!
These vintage cards from 1910 illustrate a German phrase: “Jemandem Hörner aufsetzen” (Someone alia put on horns). That means cheat your spouse or lover.

| “When you’re as lovely as you, your husband brings you easy to horns.” That said: You’re so ugly, no wonder your husband is cheating on you. |
 |
| “Oh No, is there something like that, no! My old wife has now put me a few horns.” That means: How can it be that my ugly old woman has found someone to cheat me. |
