Basil: "Don't mention the war. I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it. So it's all forgotten now and let's hear no more about it. So that's two egg mayonnaise, a prawn Goebbels, a Herman Goering and four Colditz salads....no, wait a minute...I got confused because everyone keeps mentioning the war."
German: "Will you stop mentioning the war?"
Basil: " You started it."
German: " We did not start it."
Basil: " Yes you did, you invaded Poland..."

That tractor has me thinking...if The Goof were the farmer in Grant Wood’s American Gothic, who'd be his wife? Maybe Tretchikoff's Green Lady? Or a velvet wahine?

In keeping with the revolutionary theme of the post, I'd have to say that it's the head of Mao's wife, Jiang Qing, Photoshopped on the body of Tretchikoff's Green Lady.
