A French Nazi is about as far away from me as I can possibly get without actually going to Mars or something.

Growing up, there was only classical music on BBC Radio. We had to listen to the American Forces Network in Germany, which played pop songs, or the pirate radio boats off the coast.

I don't do it often, but I do cry. I also laugh a lot people tell me I'm funny and I do like to laugh.
