Oooo, my question
That's a first.

OK then.

Jewish Museum, Berlin. Not an inherently funny place. The exhibits are really heart-wrenching. There's a lot of suitcases, clothes, the boxes of stuff Jewish families left behind when they were forced to leave their apartments. Really grim as it brings the human experience of the whole thing home to you.

I had wandered quietly around for an hour, and was now looking at exhibits about Jewish life in Germany before Nazism, and how long-lasting and vibrant a tradition there had been. There was an old English couple looking at a display case nearby.

'Are you alright, dear? Very upsetting, isn't it?'
'Yes, love. That Hitler, eh? What a... what a bloody silly sod!.'

At which point I began to giggle, gleefully and uncontrollably.

The couple looked at me like I was a bastard. The other people in the gallery looked at me like I was Satan's Spawn. The assistant who was standing around looked as if he might be about to suggest I leave.

And I just stood there. Giggling despite my efforts to stifle it.

Bloody silly sod indeed.

I think this couple had a real talent for understatement
Everyone knows that Adolf was a cad and a bounder.

To be fair
the holocaust is one of the funniest things to happen in the last 1000 years.
