Proof at last

[Tom Y]

Stevenn has dug through his dusty musty archives and come up with incontrevertible proof that the 13th Bavarian I.R. recruited from the Royal Bavarian Clown Academy in Ingolstadt

And after 30 day on the Jenny Krieg Trench Warfare Plan, they each lost more than 70 pounds!

[Rick Research]

This was an early phase of the war when they were still working on "The Killer Joke" hoping to paralyze the enemy with laughter and not have to use that icky gas stuff.

I'm not sure any more.I've heard the rations were pretty good initially so which is before and which is after??Maybe the 2 on the outside were the Kaiser's food tasters and the little guy was his next meal ,if the stories told by the Belgians are to be believed.That's not right either; I keep getting Bavarians and Belgians mixed up and he's definitly Bavarian. Just look at the mustache.

If it was an Austrian school uniform I'd be inclined to think the little guy was Hitler as a child.Maybe he wasn't Austrian!Another myth is exploded. The heat on the prairies is starting to get to me.

They obviously decided to dress up their next meal...hopefully the little guy can run faster scared that the big two can mad...and hungry

Too late, they're holding him,but I hope they've got a good grip 'cause he's got cutlery too.
