A list of puns related to "Prisoner of war camp"
In German Prisoner-of-War camps, escapes were a major problem, so they would try to break the prisonersā spirits by making them do mindless things. In particular, they would make the prisoners stand in a line and all move their heads like a clock back and forth and say, ātick tock tick tock.ā
Some prisoners, unable to escape or otherwise change their situation, chose a very subtle rebellion. They would do the head motions, but instead of ātick tock tick tockā, they would wait until the guards were further down the line and switch to ātick tick tick.ā
None of the guards noticed this was going on for many months, until finally, a young lieutenant was caught ticking by a senior SS Captain walking behind the line.
The captain stopped the exercise, walked over, face-to-face with the young man, and āA rebel. Vell, donāt vorry, ve have vays of making you tock.ā
