Somme Kind of Wonderful
We at Jewdar apologize for our absence (can you people at least pretend to notice we were gone), but a freak accident left us with a fractured fifth metacarpal (that’s a broken pinky knuckle for the vast majority of you not as smart as your brother, the doctor.) Long story short, things have been hectic, and typing is a pain, today we came across a story that inspired us—word on the street (Fleet, that is)—is that all the rumors and catchy jingles are true: While we can’t vouch for Goering or Goebbels, it does seem that Hitler may have only had one ball.
According to the story, a German medic told a priest back in the 60’s that he’d ministered to an injured, freshly de-testicled HItler, who was serving as a dispatch runner at the Battle of the Somme.
Now, we are still not convinced that this story is true—nothing that we’ve seen, for example, tells us us where this priest kept this, why it wasn’t revealed earlier, or why it was released now. But true or false, the tale of how a veteran with one testicle and an obsession with Jews managed to became dictator of Germany has taught Jewdar that having only one functioning pinky should not not prevent us from pursuing our own kosher compulsions.

I don’t understand this deduction at all. Maybe you should lay off the pain relievers when posting.

Thank you, Puck.
As for you, mrnghts, all you do is remind us all why you have continuously failed to replace Sherlock Holmes as the paradigm of deductive brilliance.
Hitler was a veteran who, despite being handicapped by missing a testicle managed to pursue his Jewish obsession.
Jewdar is a veteran who, despite being handicapped by missing a functioning left pinky (if only temporarily) has been inspired by der Fuhrer’s example to get back to our own Jewish obsession, albeit one which is more blurby and less genocidy.

Oh you two, bless.
I actually thought the connection was fairly self explanatory :P
