I'm getting worried about robot reporter. His/her weekly stats posts are now
over two days overdue. He/she hasn't posted since 7:30 GMT on April 12. Does
anyone know where he is?

Sounds like chickens in a lift/elevator!

Anyway - the actor in the sketch wasn't very good at a German accent - or at
acting!

Two other visual puns from the sketch:

The German guard was training a stuffed toy dog on wheels on the prisoners
instead of the usual machine gun.

When they looked at it in surprise he said, "It's a gun-dog!"

The next time he was holding it arse-first. He said, "It's a dog-end!"

And the third time he appeared with a stuffed cat instead. "It's a Mauser!"
he said!

I think the sketch was in the very first episode of the first of Spike
Milligan's "Q" Series.

I do a pretty good German accent. Actually, I should as both of my
parents are from Germany and I spoke almost all German until I went to
school. Now since I have been around Americanisch so long, I lost a lot
of my German (I understand a lot, but don't speak much). I till have the
accent down though because I always did impressions of my mother and
other relatives.
