If I had to choose between being tortured and raped while I was alive, and being desecrated after I was dead, I think I'd choose the latter.

I'm so glad we're spreading Freedom.

Or was it Democracy.

Or something, anyway.

The Coalition of the Abominable.

12. Oh, that's right, the Germans were pure, pure evil.

Nobody before or since has been so evil.

Why, the evil things they did, nobody else would ever even consider.

14. Who would want to do that?

I don't think I would ever want to touch a human skull, much less with that part of the anatomy.
