Little known fact that the Nazis were at last turned back at Stalingrad by the wittiest picket sign made in the Soviet Union. The sign, which used a mock spelling of Hitler's name, simply read "A doof, Hitler". Many historians believe that the German military never fully recovered from this humiliation.

    Head cocked to the left.

    Partial verbal wit in battle.

    First point of attack.

    Two. Eyes. Paralyse vocal cords with astute observation. Stop the speech centers.

    Three. Got to be partially deaf. Shrewd retort to the ears.

    Four. Finally, draw a facetious sign. Make it sharp.

    Summary prognosis: Consciousness lost in 90 seconds

    Martial efficacy: quarter of an hour at best.

    Full faculty of recovery from psychological damage, unlikely.
