    The Germans are ragged on all the time (Nazi this, Nazi that) but Japan
    is given pretty much a free ride. They were as bad or worse than the Nazi's is many ways.

    Some of the Looney Tunes and Popeye cartoons from the time, in their original form, would sometimes make fun of them... at least, the way
    they looked by exaggerating their eyes and teeth. Germany got made fun
    of much more, granted, for being supposedly stupid.

    There were a bunch of "Stupid Polock" jokes during the 1970-80's.

    Ten or so years ago I learned that Polish people are not stupid.

    In WWII it was a few Polish fellows who cracked the CODE that the Germans
    used to send their Secret Messages.

    What they did sure helped the British and the USA to shorten the war.

    None of my distant relatives were Polish, so I'm not defending myself.

    I'm a mix of Scottish and Irish. (NOT whiskey)

    Joe,

    Pollock jokes turned into blonde jokes. I turned blond jokes into Lincoln County jokes.

    Honest Abe would've been disappointed. :P

    Abe Lincoln wasn't from Lincoln County, He was raised in Hodgenville, KY,
    I think that is in Hardin County, KY.

    Where is this Lincoln County that Joe speaks of?

    That Tagline made me think if it was the TV Show "Computer Chronicles"
    or another TV Show I saw long ago that ended with a computer controlled
    arm pulling the plug out of the A.C. Socket at the end of the Show.
