Mel Brooks tells a story from his time in the war.

He could hear a German camp nearby singing their songs before bedtime.

He picked up a megaphone and belted out a version of "Toot Toot Tootsie, Goodbye" that had the Germans cheering, laughing, and applauding in response when he finished.

He added, "I could have ended the war right there."

I always heard that he was in the signal Corp and would play Jewish artists over a PA System towards the germans... guess I need to research it.

I'm sorry. Perhaps you've never heard of one the most annoying features of modern technology: frickING AUTOCORRECT.

Fortunately, for the more visually inclined, someone else posted a pic of Miss Stein just a few posts after my comment. Enjoy your evening and Miss Stein's fabulous rack.

I did not notice it the first 100 times I saw that movie. In this scene, he tries to put his pen back in the holder and misses 3/4 times. Hedley Lamar leans over and says,”..imagine it is your secretary.” Pen goes right in on the next try. Mel Brooks is a genius with details and subtleties.
