SNAFU!
One of the current stories running the rounds in Germany carries its little jibe at the occupation forces. A glum-looking individual was sweeping the sidewalk on one of Munich’s boulevards. A crowd rapidly collected and watched him. One of the observers stepped forward and asked: “How long have you been at this job?” “Since yesterday,” Replied the other curtly. “I’m interested because I formerly had the job.” “Why didn’t you keep it?” “The Americans—they wouldn’t let me—because I’m a Nazi.” “So am I,” grunted the sweeper. “That’s why they gave me the job.”
