I found this amusing !



Germany, Austria and Italy are standing together in the middle of a pub when
Serbia bumps into Austria and spills Austria's pint. Austria demands Serbia buy
it a complete new suit because there are splashes on its trouser leg.

Germany expresses its support for Austria's point of view. Britain recommends
that everyone calm down a bit. Serbia points out that it can't afford a whole
suit, but offers to pay for the cleaning of Austria's trousers. Russia and
Serbia look at Austria.

Austria asks Serbia who it's looking at. Russia suggests that Austria should
leave its little brother alone. Austria inquires as to whose army will assist
Russia in compelling it to do so. Germany appeals to Britain that France has
been looking at it, and that this is sufficiently out of order that Britain
should not intervene. Britain replies that France can look at who it wants to,
that Britain is looking at Germany too, and what is Germany going to do about
it?

Germany tells Russia to stop looking at Austria, or Germany will render Russia
incapable of such action. Britain and France ask Germany whether it's looking at
Belgium. Turkey and Germany go off into a corner and whisper. When they come
back, Turkey makes a show of not looking at anyone.

Germany rolls up its sleeves, looks at France, and punches Belgium. France and
Britain punch Germany. Austria punches Russia. Germany punches Britain and
France with one hand and Russia with the other. Russia throws a punch at
Germany, but misses and nearly falls over.

Japan calls over from the other side of the room that it's on Britain's side,
but stays there. Italy surprises everyone by punching Austria.

Australia punches Turkey, and gets punched back. There are no hard feelings
because Britain made Australia do it. France gets thrown through a plate glass
window, but gets back up and carries on fighting. Russia gets thrown through
another one, gets knocked out, suffers brain damage, and wakes up with a
complete personality change.

Italy throws a punch at Austria and misses, but Austria falls over anyway. Italy
raises both fists in the air and runs round the room chanting. America waits
till Germany is about to fall over from sustained punching from Britain and
France, then walks over and smashes it with a barstool, then pretends it won the
fight all by itself......!

By now all the chairs are broken and the big mirror over the bar is shattered.
Britain, France and America agree that Germany threw the first punch, so the
whole thing is Germany's fault . While Germany is still unconscious, they go
through its pockets, steal its wallet, and buy drinks for all their friends.

Then everyone is surprised when 21 years later, Germany wakes up and wants to
get revenge !

I think Switzerland offered to hold their coats then went through the pockets taking their wallets saying I look after these lads.

There is great suspicion they nicked all the watches too ....

So, if Poland and Czechoslovakia kept quiet during all this fisticuffs, why did Germany go and stab them both in 1939?

Er... Poland and Czechoslovakia didn't exist in 1914. They were formed, in part, from German areas - that's why Hitler tried to get them back.
