Churchill / Nicking material.

The next LLC experience (got to start calling it something different.) will be a guide to Churchill. Talking about it I mentioned a sketch I'd heard of but never seen. I think it was in an inteview with Barry Crier or Spike Milligan, but google reveals nothing more. The idea was about a group of german troops, and one who speaks a little English translates the following song...

Hitler has only got one ball,
Göring has two but very small,
Himmler is somewhat similar,
But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all."

... and of course they all fall about laughing throughout. It's such a funny idea I think we'll have to include it, though it breaks the 'though shalt not steal other's jokes' which I normally adhere to. But we'll add an admission that it's not ours, and I think in this case we are more like historians, restoring a routine which was almost lost. Also there's something great about comedy in another language, as longh as it's the sort of cod-German with enough similar words so that people can still follow it. (See Eddie 'Le sange est dans l'arbre' Izzard.)

Das Englander songen, vas ist das?

Gehen, Sie sprechen Englisch.

OK, das tommys sprect zo...

Hitler hat nur einen Testikel erhalten,
hat Göring zwei,
aber sehr klein,
Und Himmler ist derselbe wie Göring,
Und Goebbels hat keine Testikel an allen.
