The word “Uniball” means “only one ball”.

Adolph Hitler had only one ball.

Just a coincidence? **LIKE HELL!** :mad:

Come clean, Schicklegruber! How did you survive the bunker?  
:confusion:

'Fess Up!

Survive the bunker, hell–the real question would be how he’s sprightly enough to post at the age of 111.

My office mate only has one ball.\*\*\*\*\* Maybe my office mate is Hitler???

\*\*\*\*\*I know this from his phone conversations to his doctor, so wipe that smirk off your face!

I am quite disturbed at the sudden proliferation of Hitlers. Did Johnny Hitlerseed stroll across America, planting a harvest?

God, what a priceless image!

The Little Man With The Moustache, striding across the hills and plains of Ohio and western Pennsylvania, barefoot and with his brown uniform pants rolled up, strewing little Hitlers from the leather pouch over his shoulder!

**Snooooop** , ya made MY day!

Bear in mind that it will take Johnny Hitlerseed half as long to empty his leather sack as a normal man, so there really shouldn’t be this many Uniballs.

So does that mean that the pen manufacturer is actually just a money laundering scheme for Nazi causes?

Well, hey, I just wanna say that I think **Uniball’s** threads this week are the most SDMB fun you can have with your clothes on. I haven’t posted to many of them so far (“stunned speechless” would about sum it up, most of the time), but hey, it’s great to meet somebody who not only thinks outside the box, but who also doesn’t seem to be aware that the box even exists.

And I mean this as a compliment. Really. 🙂 Bienvenidos, UnaPelota!

(why are all you people with filthy minds assuming that it’s a reference to testicles? Perhaps he’s a billiards pro, or maybe it’s a Unabomber joke.)

Hitler -  
has only GOT ONE BALL!  
Göring -  
has two but they’re quite small!  
Himmler -  
Is very sim’lar,  
But poor Goebbels  
Has no balls  
at all…

ohhhhh, Hitler -  
has only GOT ONE BALL!..

Hitler.

Uniball.

The ball’s in _your_ court…

(But, not _his_.)

Whatever his original political alignment, it is clear that by the late 1930’s, **Uniball** was at least a Fascist sympathizer.

Next week, _“Was Goebbels A Yeti?”_😃

So where is Uniball to answer?

Johnny Hitlerseed…I couldn’t stop laughing when I read that. Johnny Appleseed is one of my ancestors, but he doesn’t seem extremely well-known, but seeing people remember him makes me happy. :^)

Little Hitlers? Like baby Hitlers or adults, only in small size?

DDG, maybe he only owns one basketball or something.

Entirely off topic, I’m afraid. **Welfy** is he really? How very cute and impressive! I’m surprised you say he is not well known, as I remember him from a reading book at primary school in Scotland, when I was aged 7 or so. Just thought I’d mention that and make you happy.

Ahem. In [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=48690) thread, **manhatten** announces that **Uniball** is actually a reincarnation of **smartt**. You remember - the Brazilian worm farmer slash porn mag editor? I knew there was a reason he got on my nerves…

And how many remember that Spike Jones classic?

“Ven ze Furher sayz, “Ve is de Master Rrrace!”  
Ve, “Heil!” {pblt!} “Heil!” {pblt!} Rrright in ze Furher’s face!”

I remember this from an old episode of “M_A_S\*H” and have it on a Spike Jones greatest hits record. Classic stuff. “Super-_dooper_ super men!” 😃
