I audibly guffawed when I saw the title

I didn't post in dunk tank because the concept, title and byline are so silly that you can't get upset with it.

"You are right Comrade Peterson, I will clean my room and abandon this "communism" nonsense I was cooking up immediately."

    It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s hard to imagine a more wretched human being than Karl Marx.

    I tried really hard to think of a worse German but I couldn’t think of one

    As someone of German ancestry, I can attest that this type of slovenliness is not a typical trait of Germans, then or now. Germans tend to pride themselves on their cleanliness.

    Germans are clean in a fundamentally genetic sense. And, after all, Marx was ethnically Jewish.
