One Balled Dictators

When I was at primary school (5-11) in England, being young multi-cultural Britons, we used to sing a song that reflected our deep understand of, and sensitivity to, 20th Century European history:

'Hitler has only got one ball,
The other is in the Albert Hall.
His mother, the dirty b*gger,
Cut it off when he was small.'



Until this day, I never realised it was true. And apparently Adolf H wasn't the only fun-loving-wacky-crazy-European-Dictator to pack meat, but only one veg: General Francisco Franco also only had one Tic Tac in the box.

Is there a connection between being a dictor and only having one ball? Did Mussonlini keep only one onion in the onion bag? What about Sadam Hussein? Or Margaret Thatcher?

Without doubt.

I imagine having one ball would make you angry...therefore increasing the liklihood of becoming a genocidal maniac.

I imagine Margaret probably has all the missing balls.

It would certainly make me angry.

I'd like to think I could avoid genocide though. Perhaps just write some angry poetry, or start a punk band, or a drive-by or two.

Nothing much.
