I'll forgive you that one, Dr. Bill, if

In The Big One (WWI, but we din't call it that back then, we called it The Big One) we were in our trenches about 100 yds from the Huns. The Huns made a sign that said Gott mit uns, obviously taunting us (it was a cold winter that year and we were up to our ganooglies in icy water). Well, not to be outdone, we made a sign and held it up. It said We got mittens, too!
