IN OUR bloodthirstier mo-
ments we sometimes get TO con-
securing on what We would do
with Adolf Hitler IL II was UP TO
us to dispose Of him.
Sending him TO st. Helena,
even if tie had stomach ulcers
like Napoleon, doesn't seem ade-
quate. Nor sending him TO Doom
10 chop wood. Anyway, some
Hollander would borrow his AK
and use il 10 chop something be-
sides wood.
We have also considered CIV
ing him a food rationing card
and making him stand, day after
day, in a line in front Of q gro
Gerry store. Every time he worked
his way 10 the front Of the line.
we would push. him back TO the
end and make him start over.
Now we've got still another
idea, inspired by the thought
that just standing still for hour
after hour is torture enough.
We recently saw a showcase
on the University of Michigan
campus full of antique bows and
arrows, and one bow was pla-
carded:
This II one Of the weapons
with which virtually an Of the
thep-known world was con-
quered by Gbengis Khan"
We would make Hitler stand
there and look at the decrepit
bow, IA hours a day seven days
q week, month after month.
Ghengis Khan was a more sue
cessful conqueror than Hitler Is,
hut all that's left to remember
him by Is a bow Tn a museum
case. We don't suppose that Hit
Ter ever would get the idea that
we have in mind. II he hasn't fig
|ured out the futilty Of conquest
IN Norway, he never viii catch
on.
But at least, standing there
meditating on that bow, pretty
soon his feet would start to
swell I'D and hurt.
