Historian Jokes

"Holocaust exaggerated, British historian claims")
British historian David Irving said Thursday night that Adolph Hitler

Irving said that professors float historical claims like a "Goodyear blimp"
and are waiting for someone to come along and prick it.
"I AM THAT PRICK," he said.
Oh, what poetic justice....
