'Cryptorchidism is what I mean. An undescended testicle. As a child it seems the Führer's nut bag decided to protest the pull of gravity by staying precisely put.

Much worse. We would be ruled by those remaining English stiffs employed by the Nazis to do their bidding.

Instead we'd be entirely driven by the very wettest of civil servants - even more so than we already are. A legion of pudgy middle managers would be the dreary midwives of England's downfall. Human turds, the lot of them. Stiff, dry, human turds.'
You don't say much, and I like that. There is poetry in silence but most don't stop to hear it. They just talk, talk, talk, but say nothing because they are afraid of hearing their own heartbeat. Afraid of their own mortality.'
