Well most of our guests manage to struggle down in the morning.
...Breakfast! Here we are. Another car stike. Marvellous, isn't it. Taxpayer pay 'em millions each year, they get the money, go on strike. It's called Socialism. I mean if they don't like making cars why don't they get themselves another bloody job designing cathedrals or composing viola concertos? . .
LMAO, Bill. Here's your beer...
"I don't know about that - if it's a tittle for a high school paper, it could get him in trouble..."
Nah. He's 85. Deaf. Can't hardly walk. The D.A. wouldn't touch him.
Would he want to see the left tittle or the right tittle? Or both?
They had a cousin named Mussolini who was mostly inept.
They all got their butts whupped by Team America.
The end.
Here ya go uncle Bill. (They put my photo on the label.)
You need to start doing your own homework and not posting on FR every time you have an assignment due. The fact that you posted this just a short time before the semester is over shows that you are a slacker who waited until the last minute to do your work. I checked your posting history and the only time you post on these boards is to get homework help. Stop leeching and hit the library.
You get my meaningless nomination for post of the month!!
Anyone who thinks World War II started with Pearl Harbor is either deeply ignorant or an ethnocentric bigot.
Italians fought in Ethiopia 1935-36. The pact with Germany was inked in 1936. In 1936, fighting began in Spain. It eventually involved forces from Italy and Germany on one side, and men and material from Russia, England and the US on the other side. The fight in Spain continued until March, 1939. Within 6 months, fighting picked up in Poland.
In Asia, fighting started as early as 1932, Although the incident at the Marco Polo bridge in 1937 could be argued as the starting point (July) as could the bombing of Shanghai (August).
Mr. PhD - do you know the date of the first Japanese attack on an American ship in World War II?
World Two
Once upon a time, there was a very mean man in Germany, named Adolph Hitler. He got too big for his lederhosen, and convinced some other people that they should take over some other countries and kill a lot of people. He was very mean.
He made friends with a funny-looking man in another country. It's the one that looks like a boot on your map. This didn't help him much.
Hitler took over some other countries that most people didn't care about much. He took over France, too, because they had all the good wine and some pretty women, even if they don't shave under their arms.
Hitler shot people and killed Jews in ovens, and like that. He sent airplanes with bombs and bombed England, too. He didn't like England very much, I guess.
So England fought back. They did pretty good, but Hitler started sending rockets to England and blew up lots of stuff. England asked America to help out. We told him to wait a little longer and go on fighting.
Then, waaaay around on the other side of the world, this guy in Japan, some Emperor or King or something, named Hirohito, decided that the USA was distracted with this war in Europe. So, he sent some ships and airplanes and bombed Hawaii, which wasn't even a state yet then. Well, that did it!
America got really mad at Hirohito and decided to fight Hitler and Hirohito and the funny guy from the country shaped like a boot.
So, we had a draft and like that. We built some nice boats, and lots and lots of airplanes, and tanks, and all like that. Then we went and kicked butt on the Germans and whoever it was that lived in that country that looks like a boot.
Japan was a real pain, though. They were like going to little islands and stuff and were hard to fight. They were a long way from America, too, so it was hard to get airplanes there. And they were really stupid. Their pilots were doing stuff like crashing planes into our boats.
So, we made a really big bomb and blew up one of their towns. Then we blew up another one, and that Hirohito guy gave up. So, we gave the Japanese a lot of money and now we buy cars from them.
Over in Europe, Hitler killed himself and the Germans gave up, too. We gave the Germans a lot of money, too, and we divided up Europe between us and the Russians, who we didn't like much, either.
That guy in the country shaped like a boot? I think he died, too, but it didn't really matter, since he never did anything but walk around in high boots and talk a lot. We didn't give much money to that country, because they didn't fight much.
France got to keep its wine, but all those countries where they speak wierd languages and eat lots of sausages went to the Russians. But that's another story altogether.
We won World Two. But lots of people got killed, and that was sad.
Yep, just about all buried in piles of ones and zeroes.
WW II started as the guns of WW I fell silent and the parties continued their quests for power.
I remember when I was in school I had to walk up hill, both ways, in 2 feet of snow at 30 below, barefoot with no coat, against the wind to the library,lugging a 40 pound three ring binder. Then I had to deal with that stupid dewey decimal system to find information. The worst thing was that microfish machine.
Howzat?
"The worst thing was that microfish machine."
Wow! They had a microfish machine in your school? We had to use tiny little fishing poles and really little hooks to get the microfish at my school. It was really a pain, but then I learned that mealworms worked pretty well as bait. I got straight "A"s after that. No problems with the microfish machine.

I'm sure you posted this as a parody of a student essay on WW2, but it's much too close to what a real student essay would be like to be altogether humorous.
I've read university essays that were much like this, sad to say.
Oh yeah? Try mowing the yard with a push mower with a broken blade on a 60 degree slope, blindfolded, and in three feet of snow.
