Just thought I'd dust off this geezer of a thread and breathe some new life into it; hope you don't mind. (And if you do, then I've got just two words for you, Buster -- and they ain't "Heil Hitler.")

A couple days ago while referencing The Book, I ran across a passage that tickles the hell out of me whenever I read it. From page 52 of the Ralph Manheim translation:

"There were few Jews in Linz. In the course of the centuries their outward appearance had become Europeanized and had taken on a human look; in fact, I even took them for Germans." (emphasis mine)

Now, who says AH didn't have a damn fine sense of humor? Hm?...Who says so?
