Everyone are not in the loop for your side subject. Some jokes from a 1942 movie: "They named a brandy after Napoleon, they made a herring out of Bismarck, and the Fuhrer is going to end up as a piece of cheese!" "What he did to Shakespeare, we are doing now to Poland." "They call you 'Concentration Camp Ehrhardt.'" -- "Yes, we do the concentrating and the Poles do the camping." "Heil myself." - - - - - - - - - - Some people objected to those at the time! But most people laughed. Pretty much anything can be the subject of a good joke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is a little sensitive... Tread lightly. Crass? Clearly you're a rookie to DCP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So descriptive of human nature where humor is salve that makes bad things more palatable so they can be dealt with more effectively than when one is angry.

Everyone are not in the loop for your side subject. It was totally appropriate. There's laughing at a person's situation, and then there's laughing at the situation to ease the tension. Considering the extent to which these boards have hashed out the accusation list, a little levity is perfectly appropriate. Newer members are encouraged to read for several days or weeks to better understand the dynamic of the regular posters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone are not in the loop for your side subject. And rookies are encouraged to read for a while before posting. Most members here don't let B.S. hang around for long before calling it out. The trick is to be around long enough to know the B.S. from the meaningful posts, which comes with time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite is at the end when the phony Hitler parachutes in England. One farmer tells the other “First Hess and now him”. (Refers to Rudolph Hess going nutso and flying to England to see the King or Churchill I forget which) Best Hitler impersonation I saw from that era is from a nice Jewish guy named Moses Horowitz (aka Moe Howard). He gives a kind of funny rant and rave pidgin German speech... but then he crosses his arms and his eyes have this “light are on but nobody home” look.... brrrrr.... 😳 Edited August 24, 2020 by JimF-LowBari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
