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.)
