Hitler's archives - recently discovered correspondence ...

 

Dear Herr Hitler,
Sorry for taking a while to get back to you. We think your paintings are extremely promising. Do hope you haven’t embarked on another career.

Yours sincerely,

Talking about 'Testicle'. 

While commissioning a new installation had large PA system and a rather young naive switchboard operator.  

Every now and then one of the guys would ring up and page someone. Over the PA system you would hear: "Tess Ticle telephone please." 

Or 'Ivan Acher telephone please. Can't remember the rest.

We thought it funny at the time.
