Was It Over When the Germans Bombed Pearl Harbor?

[Tim Kelly]

Of course the inevitable point arisie that when claiming nationality Germans do not employ the indefinite article "Ein"; "Ich bin Frankfurter" means "I come from Frankfurt", Ich bin EIN Frankfurter means "I am a sausage"; JFK meant to say "Ich bin Berliner"; "Ich bin EIN Berliner" means "I am a doughnut"; was it a coincidence that 9 months later he died from a hole in the middle of his head?
Also, the British equivalent of "Was it all over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour?" is:-
"What about Magna Carta? DID SHE DIE IN VAIN?"
-originally by Tony Hancock, during "Hancock's Half Hour", the episode "Twelve Angry Men".

The way History is(n't) taught in British schools these days, that joke generally falls flat these days.
