We added  the words

Adolf  has only got one ball
Goering has two but very  small
Himmler has something simlar
And poor old Geobells has no balls at  all.

At the age of 12 that was the funniest thing  ever.
 
    OMG, Pat!  I vaguely remember  hearing that MANY decades ago, as a kid, 
and had totally forgotten it until  your e-mail arrived.  Thanks for 
jogging my memory.  Apparently, you  are about four years older than I (I'm 74).
 
    That ranks with things like "Der  Fuehrer's Face," by Spike Jones.  
Also, there was a Disney cartoon of the  same name, which was the only Donald 
Duck cartoon to ever win an Academy Award  (Oscar).
 
    I will always admire the fortitude of  the people of England in 
weathering the storm of WW II.  As an aviation  buff (who was born the same week 
the Spitfire made its first test flight!), the  Battle of Britain evokes a 
sense of amazement and  appreciation! 
 
    But I think we have drifted  off-topic....
