After careful construction, the army puts together a German version of the joke which the British cannot understand, but the Germans can... they use it in the Ardennes, and the rest is History. Its the story of how Britain won WWII.
In the skit, you never hear the english version of the joke, but you do hear the German version. I'm curious, if anybody knows, what the translation of the German is... (and if you know and post it, warn readers who may die laughing!)

How does he smell???
"AWFUL!!!"
