That Tiger Detail thread took a turn at the end there. ‘He says his driver is blind’ caused me a few spontaneous outbursts of laughter during the day (usually at inappropriate times) .
I can’t get this vision out of my head; A 90 year old Dr. Strangelove-esque panzer commander (played by Peter Sellers of course) sitting at a bar, warming himself around a candle, muttering about turnips and vodka and getting his tongue stuck to his frozen cuppola.
So, here under the premise of ‘caption this’,
finish this line:
Otto Carius walks into a bar with two of his crew and orders a round orf beers. One round soon turns into a dozen, as the the old fellows get well and truly drunk. As closing time comes around, the bartender asks them to leave.
“Nein,” says Otto, “We can’t.”
“Why?” asks the baartender.
“Ve are unable to walk to our Tank” slurs Otto, much to the delight of his crew.
“Well I have to get you out of here somehow,” grumbles the barman, “I have to close this place.”
Otto replies…
“Well then maybe you Otto Carius…”
I am very sorry about this, Ausf made me do it.[:I]
Absolutely Brilliant!
I really didn’t expect a response…I figured it was a near impossible set up as is.
Now people are going to back away from me again as I laugh for no apparent reason.
Outstanding Phroosh.
Ausf,
Heavens, no! Im not that smart. I went to McGill, but that is about it. I teach history to high school juniors and seniors. Some days they do more writing, and days like today, they do more listening. Today I get to take my juniors through the Canadian and Quebec govts responses to the Great Depression. You can understand why I might be a little distracted. Just after “The Replacements” came out, I couldn’t get one of the funnier lines (I thought) out of my head. For three days I had to teach with the words “but coach, I look like I j******d off an elephant.” running through my head. They never warned us about stuff like that we I took my teaching degree1
