Addendum to my Previous Blog

As I was sitting in class today, I remembered something that fits into our discussion.  During the 40's and 50's, there was another big name in humor.  Spike Jones had a band and they spoofed everyone.  

Times have changed and the way we express our feelings may have changed, but the emotions behind those expressions are still there.  I vividly remember visiting the New Jersey shore in 1979 with a group of teenaged girls from church and seeing a woman on the beach with a tattooed number on her arm.  A tattooed number like that on a older woman could mean only one thing - she had been in a concentration camp.  I hereby offer a response to the war that is funny in appearance, but covers some very strong emotions that are not funny.  (Some of his other stuff is really funny, though.)
