C of L49 "that cruel old man was an Indian killer": Thoth

[Otto]

Hitler is visiting a small village and the villagepeople are gathered
to greet the "Fuehrer".

The women are carrying bouquets to give it to him, except a small girl
who is offering a bunch of grass.

"Why are you giving me a bunch of grass?" asks the "Fuehrer".

"Because my grandpa said if the "Fuehrer" bites into the grass* we all
will be better off."


*"to bite into the grass": German colloquial for "dying".
