But this is ugly, isn't it? In German, we simply omit the second s and only 
use the apostrophe in this case. But in German apostrophe + s isn't used for 
the genitive anyway, at least it wasn't until the so called spelling reform, 
which made the "fool's apostrophe" (as it is generally called) a part of 
"correct" German.
