BUTLITZ.......
A TRUE funny story that may get scrubbed......
My sister-in-law went to Spain on holiday with a group of friends and one guy was blonde haired blue eyed - the archetypical Arian. They were in a bar and a couple of German girls showed an interest in him. They approached my s-i-l and spoke in German, she said she was English and they asked why she was with a German guy. She told him that he was English but they didn't believe her so she offered to introduce them to him, which she did along with some German guys they were with.
Now a British 'joke' when we meet Germans is that someone always says "Don't mention the war", so when the Germans joined them the blonde guy said it.
After a while with the drinks flowing freely, the blonde guy said "My Grandfather was killed at Colditz". The rest of the group looked at each other and the Germans rather uncomfortably, and one said "was he a prisoner of war? ". "no" said the blonde guy, "he died when he fell out of his machine gun tower". At which point the English group pi$$ed themselves laughing. The Germans didn't get the joke and one of the German guys said in all seriousness " My Grandfather was also a guard at Colditz, maybe he knew your Grandfather" .....
If you do it today you MIGHT regret it. If you CAN'T do it tomorrow you WILL regret it.
