Herr Goebbels Angered By Anti-Nazi Wit Comedians Banned For Humorous Remarks on Leaders RERLIN, Feb. 4 (U.P. When Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels yesterday he called it "society rabble and intellectual shobs," for laughing at comedians who make Nazi leaders the butts of their jokes. Goebbels turned his anger upon nouncing that five German actors had been banned from the stage for publicly rediculing Nazi party and state functionaries. He denied that there was any lack of humor in Nazi Germany, but said that it must be kept "good- natured, decent and clean." "There is plenty of humor in Germany, more than enough," he said in a three and one-half column editorial in the Nazi party's newspaper Voelkischer Beobachter. "But we do not per- mit ourselves to be ridiculed." ner Finck, actor-author; Pete Sachse, vaudevilie comedian, and Helmut Buth, Wilhelm Meissner and Manfred Dlugi, the latter three members of a vaudeville combination known as "The Three Rulands." The five were said to have been warned re- peatedly to stop making jokes about the Nazis.
Thought I'd leave this here.

I’ve spent 25+ years teaching and “ communicating” science. As well as being a schoolteacher, I’ve worked with scientists and science institutions to help them explain their work to the public. This book is the culmination of all that work. Out in paperback Nov. 7th www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1529...

A police officer just stopped me due to the terrible state of the sleeve on my cardigan, which is covered in small balls of thread, and arrested me for Grievous Bobbly Arm.
