I wish I could show this to my father-in-law, but he’s in his 80s, speaks little English, and it would take a long time to even get the meme history built up with him to actually follow the humor. If I could get him to understand the humor, though, he’d probably love it; he taught this for decades at a university.

Just tell him it’s Dadaist. He’ll understand as a German

Be careful—he may understand as a German.

He does have some memories from the War!
