I shit you all not... yesterday I was walking with my 4 year old grandson and we caught up to a young family walking in the same direction.
"Hi Hickler! Hi Hickler!" the kid, perhaps 8 or 9, was shouting.
"Do you even know who Heil Hickler was?" asked the 20 something female. "He was a German wasn't he?" she added, turning to the 20 something adult male.
"Duhh...yeah!" replied the male. "He started the feckin' war. He killed all the Nazi's by tricking them into poison gas showers."
The kid started laughing manically as if this was the funniest thing he'd ever heard, before returning to his, "Hi Hickler! Hi Hickler!" chant.
I want to believe they were pretending to be stupid for some comic effect, but sadly I think there really are people out there with these astonishing levels of ignorance.
