“My son the historian just told me that the Nazis invented the torch relay.”

They did. It was an alternate way to light the ovens…

Sorry. Had to say it! Even as a (hemi-semi-quasi)Jew boy, my sense of humor is *still* warped!

My son the historian just told me that the Nazis invented the torch relay. Can anyone confirm this?

1. Obvious lack of historical knowledge.

2. Who is “we” and what authority do “we” have to prohibit anyone from hosting the Olympics? (I’m assuming the sign holder isn’t an IOC member.)

3. Things like this are why I encourage other people not to vote.
