This was an ad in the local paper. 




I am at a loss for words.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

For real?  :huh:

It's important to have a crematorium with integrity.  Otherwise you end up just stacked in the basement:

There are lots of negatives about the nazis, but even their detractors have to admit they ran some of the most efficient and high volume crematory centers in history.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Sadly, yes.  The gal in charge of ads said she really wasn't good with uniforms.  So I suppose there was an equal chance of the ad depicting a person dressed as French Maid, A Roman Centurion, Robocop, or the Maytag repairman.  On the plus side, I suppose there might be a job opening soon.

  French Maids have a difficult relationship with urns of crematorial ashes. They are more likely to knock over the urn or vase and require a spanking than anything else. You don't want to have to worry this company is going to spill grandma all over the floor.

It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

So does taking a shit in the street.  Still I wouldn't advertise through the medium of public defecation.

Countdown to viral, nation-wide shit-storm and social media shaming...

Should Robocop's metal parts be considered a uniform? I don't remember, did he wear anything that actually identified him as police?

Lol, there's no way in hell that someone just chooses a Nazi soldier for a cremation add. A quick search on google for soldier, for soldier black and white photo, for wwii soldier, and wwii soldier black and white photo doesn't show them on the first few pages.

That does not really surprise me a whole lot.  Several years ago I dressed up as an East German officer for Halloween and the wife dressed as a nun.  As a joke the wife framed a pic of us in costume and I put it on my desk at work.  Some nitwit girl from another department stopped by my desk to ask me something and saw the pic.  She said, "Oh, I didn't know you had been in the army!"
