Amsterdam thoughts...

Spent 2 weeks in Europe, half the trip was in Amsterdam.
My favorite place on earth. Not just for the obvious reasons though.
I loved the culture and people.
I recommend everyone goes for a little holiday.
Best coffee shop - Amnesia
Best strain (out of the 12 I tried) - Amnesia Haze
Now with the funny funny.
I went to the Anne Frank house.
Let me tell you something... after visiting the location for one of the most beloved Disney family novels, The Diary of Anne Frank,  I now understand why they kept her and her family locked in an attic.
It was because they were some of the most hideous and grotesque looking life forms ever.
I'm going to be Frank with you Anne...good looks must be expensive and your not only dirt poor, but in debt.
I think you should not only have been hidden in the attic but you should have been chained to a wall with a potato sack over your gruesome face.
And don't think I forgot about the rest of your family...
her grandmother looked like Gretchin an 18th century chamber maid.
her mother looked like a confused man in a dress.
her little brother, Frank Frank, would have been the safest altar boy in a catholic church...he could have walked around naked and not got any attention from the priests.
and lastly,  her dad looked like Laurel and Hardy had a baby and then neglected it.
Anyone that grew up in an apartment in the Bronx will tell you that the supposed "small" attic would have been a penthouse in the place they grew up.
Infact it would probably be $3000-$5000 a month rent
Anne Frank and her sisters had to tip toe around during the day so the "scary" germans wouldn't hear them. 
Scary Germans? Are you kidding me? When have you ever been scared of a German person? 
Me and my brother had to tip toe around as well, but it wasn't to hide from the germans. 
it was so we wouldn't wake up our alcoholic step father.
So did Anne Frank have it bad or do jewish woman just love to complain?
In closing here's a joke that turned up after I googled "Anne Frank Jokes"
What's brown and hides in an attic?
The Diarrhea Of Anne Frank.
I think the joke would be funnier as follows...
What's yellow, brown and squishy and hides in an attic?
The Diaper of Anne Franks Grandmother.
Now there's a novel I'd like to read.
