Reading an interview with Georg Kreisler, I stumbled over this joke he told:
"A march past, Hitler is there, all soldiers stand to attention. Suddenly, one guy has to sneeze. Hitler walks to the first man in the line and asks "Have you sneezed?" The man, afraid and full of fear, mumbles: "N-n-no." Hitler takes his pistol and shoots him. So dies the second, and the third one as well. Then Hitler comes to the fourth man, asking again "Have you sneezed?" The man, shaky: "Y-y-yes" Says Hitler: "Gesundheit!" (Bless you!)
(Gesundheit=health)
Who Georg Kreisler is?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Kreisler
A Jewish man of extremely black humour and uncompromised criticism of society, certain social traits and attitudes, politics and politial correctness. That earned him conflicts and even prohibitions to appear in the media in Austria, Germany and the US with a given song, or in general. I have two hours of program by him. In his field, I know nobody coming close to him. That humour is as corroding as Alien's slobber.
