Nor the years condemn

GENERAL: I say, Jeremy! Good news! The Germans are ready for total unconditional surrender! JEREMY: I say, what ho! Fantastic! Join me in a drink of brandy to celebrate. Now, I was thinking, wouldn't it be especially poignant... if the Armistice agreement was signed at the eleventh hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year? GENERAL: Tally-ho! Indeed! ...But the 11th year passed before the Great War began. Oh, well, we'll just have to continue the senseless killing of innocent soldiers from both sides in a standoffish manner until the year 2011! JEREMY: Cheers!(This is an old one - November 1999, or thereabouts.)

No, Grover. You are the monsters.

The deleted original ending to The Monster At The End Of This Book:(The likelihood that someone has already done this joke is so great that I'm not even going to go and check.)
