During the First World War, I told her, Hitler had been a runner, delivering messages between the German trenches, and he was disgusted by seeing his fellow soldiers visit French brothels. To keep the Aryan bloodlines pure,and prevent the spread of venereal disease, he commissioned an inflatable doll that Nazi troops could take into battle.

What I really hate is me so I hate pretty much everybody.
Chuck PalahniukDaytime television, you can tell whoโs watching by the three kinds of commercials. Either itโs clinics for drying out drunks. Or itโs law firms who want to settle injury suits. Or itโs schools offering mail-order vocational degrees to make you a bookkeeper. A private detective. Or a locksmith. If youโre watching daytime television, this is your new demographic. Youโre a drunk. Or a cripple. Or an idiot.
