Adolf G Eva<br />

A marriage of such devoted souls<br />

should have been made in heaven.<br />

Alas, it was made in a Berlin bunker.<br />

It came too late, however, for any<br />

nuptial festivities along the tinter<br />

Den Linden. Some home movies of<br />

their early carefree days in Adolf's<br />

Berchtesgaden aerie show Eva to be<br />

athletic and amply endowed. Since<br />

Hitler was monorchid,the poor fellow<br />

must have operated at considerable<br />

disadvantage. Eva, however, was the<br />

faithful, uncomplaining type of<br />

mistress, even when the THIRD<br />

REICH didn't last a thousand years<br />

as Adolf had promised her. In the<br />

waning hours, while waiting for the<br />

Russian visitors, witnesses said that<br />

Adolf embraced Eva and with both<br />

tenderness and driving passion told<br />

her, "Eva, you just can't win 'em all:'<br />

Henry VIII, 3 Catherines,<br />

2 Annes, G 1 Jane<br />

Henry the Eighth was called "Bluff<br />

King Hal" for good reason. He'd just<br />

as soon as call your bluff or hand<br />

your head to you on a platter. Judging<br />

by the number of big wheels he<br />

had trying to pull strings for him with<br />

a stubborn pope, our Henry was no<br />

small hatchet man himself. Very few<br />

people ever get a chance to hire and<br />

fire a Cardinal Wolsey and execute a<br />

Thomas More. It all stemmed from<br />

his desire to get a divorce not once<br />

but five times. And no alimony involved.<br />

Headless women have damn<br />

little interest in fancy millinery or<br />

who gets the stereo. So in order of<br />

divorce and decapitation we give<br />

you: Catherine of Aragon (unilateral<br />

divorce), Anne Boleyn (beheaded),<br />

Jane Seymour (died in childbirth),<br />

Anne of Cleaves (head intact),<br />

Catherine Howard (beheaded), and<br />

Catherine Parr (no relation to Jack)<br />

beat the rap entirely and survived<br />

the young curmudgeon. A guy who<br />

doesn't behead everybody can't be<br />

all bad.<br />
