Dead Funny

A GERMAN joke:

A wounded military man tells a nurse: "I am dying and would like to know for whom I am dying." She replies: "You are dying for the Führer and for the people." He asks: "Can't the Führer come to my deathbed then?" She replies: "That's not possible, but I'll bring you a picture of the Führer." The man asks that the photo be placed on his righthand side, and adds: "I am in the Luftwaffe." So the nurse brings him a photo of Göring, and places it on his left. The soldier says: "Now I shall die like Christ."

The point of the joke, for those unfamiliar with Jesus's death, is that he was crucified along with two thieves.

For telling the joke while visiting his father in 1943, Catholic priest Joseph Müller was executed by the Nazis.

Müller was born in Salmünster, where this community centre is dedicated to him
