Great Moments in History

“I saw what happened at Normandy. You had German soldiers peacefully, quietly ensconced in their machine gun nests and, for no good reason – excuse me, excuse me - suddenly out of nowhere there are dozens if not hundreds of these small landing crafts making their way to the beaches. If you looked closely - and obviously none of you did – you would see that every single person, yes, every single person in that invading, yes, invading force was armed. Do you think they were coming by to bring a Bundt cake? I don’t think so. Why do you think they were storming that beach? Excuse me, excuse me - there was one Nazi sitting up there, I heard he was quietly eating an apple. A quite harmless, very nice man. Maybe he was writing a letter home to his parents because there are some very nice people there I’m sure. But suddenly, as Tom Hanks and Tom Sizemore and others start invading this piece of land that these Germans are defending, the Germans are forced to start shooting. What other choice do they have? Excuse me, excuse me.”

(You get the point…)
