[My Dog Likes Me]

An imaginary version...

CANNIBAL: Do you smoke?

VICTIM: Yes!

CANNIBAL: Oh, I'm sorry. I KNEW this wouldn't work!!! I hate smokers!

VICTIM: Don't hang-up! "..busy signal.." Hello? Hello? ...

Aw gee, folks, what would we or the History Channel do without Germans?

I'm going to butcher this (no pun intended), but here goes.

I remember reading the account of some traveler (20th century) who upon arriving noticed that all the men (military context) smoked constantly. When he asked a veteran why, he was told that the locals were cannibals but they didn't like the taste of meat from smokers. Being seen to smoke was thought to reduce the chances that one would end up in a native stew pot.

LOL so very true. Sometimes I think the History Channel believes WWII is the only war that ever happened. They must have gotten a lot of cheap Hitler documentaries or something. I sometimes want to scream at the TV "Hey you guys there are other scum bags in history besides the Germans". Do they listen, hell no! They just show another week of Hitler's Henchmen or something like it

Without the Germans we wouldn't HAVE the History Channel. Eliminate WWII and Hitler and they lose at least 1/3 of their programming.

That is the one funny comment in all this mess. "History Channel presents: Hitler's Women, Hitlet's Boys, Hitler's.........".

I wonder why they don't do more on Stalin, a contemporary monster. Or how about Mao or Pol Pot for a change?
