Godwin’s Law, that the longer a thread continues the probability that a comparison mentions Hitler or the Nazi’s approaches 1 is pretty much a truism. So lets cut to the chase, is there any response where it can’t be godwinized?

I’ll start with a low-ball by admitting that I quite like puppies.

The next person has to godwinize that and add something that can’t be godwinized, if possible 🙂

You better hurry or the SS will catch you before you reach Switzerland. Whatever you do, don’t give away your position by bursting into song on the way.

These winter storms have been nasty, and have probably frozen some people to death.

You know who _else_ froze people to death?

It’s well known that the Japanese love baseball, a sport played with three bases, one bat and one ball.

The line Will Hunting used to bully Clark. Just like the way Hitler bullied Chamberlain at the Munich Conference.

You know who else liked chocolate bomb bombs?

> [@](#):

> In the spring of 1943, MI5 operative Victor Rothschild learned of an even more ingenious bomb being conjured up by the Nazis—an exploding chocolate bar. The killer candy was cloaked in a black foil wrapper with gold lettering bearing the brand name “Peter’s Chocolate.” Underneath the real chocolate exterior was steel and canvas, and when a piece of chocolate at the end of the bar was broken off and the canvas pulled, it activated a bomb that would explode after a seven-second delay. MI5 believed Nazi secret agents were plotting to smuggle the explosive chocolate into the War Cabinet and into the hands of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who was known to have a sweet tooth.
