Half nuts

Well, what do you know? Those lines in the Colonel Bogey March might have been right after all:

An extraordinary account from a German army medic has finally confirmed what the world long suspected: Hitler only had one ball.

War veteran Johan Jambor made the revelation to a priest in the 1960s, who wrote it down. The priest’s document has now come to light — 23 years after Johan’s death.

Der Führer wasn’t born that way, though. The other yarble was a casualty of the 1916 Battle of the Somme:

“Hitler was screaming ‘help, help’. His abdomen and legs were all in blood. Hitler was injured in the abdomen and lost one testicle. His first question to the doctor was: ‘Will I be able to have children?’.”

Himmler, it is said, was something similar.

    And yet Goebbels had kids, so either that line was wrong, or Frau Goebbels was engaging in a little hanken-panken.

    From the link:

    Dr Martin Farr, senior lecturer at Newcastle University School of Historical Studies, said last night: “This genuinely new twist is fascinating.”

    Ow.

    Is the next discovery going to be that Comet makes your teeth turn green, and it tastes like Listerine?

    Hitler had only ONE big ball …
    Himmler had two, but they were small …

    We were singing this at Girl Scout camp in 1967. A standard
    camping song (as long as it’s sung out of earshot).

    And, as it turns out, it’s -ON- the internet.

    oh no ! Now I’m seeing the link above. As Steven Wright said,
    I was right in the middle of reading “when my prescription ran out” (the glasses).
