Adi Dassler (founder of Adidas) started his company in Germany in the 1930s. His brother was the founder of Puma and also started the company in Germany. And remember, Adidas bought Reebok a few years ago. But Phil Knight started Nike in Portland, OR in the late 1960s.
@ASKAMOOSE The Nazis were mass murderers, genocidal. I had two aunts and an uncle who bore the serial number tattoos on their arms from the concentration camps they somehow survived, experiences that shattered them for the rest of their lives. The Nazis will never be funny, and must never be made funny. We can’t afford to think, even for a moment, particularly during this administration, that it can’t happen again. We seem to be in the beginning stages again, God help us. We must never, ever forget.

So many tied for the cause….
some only 8 1/2’s or 9’s… just Keds, really.
But they stepped up, to help de-feet the Knotsies…
and fought to give them the boot.
God rest their soles.

If the measure of a comic’s greatness is the field it opens for poor puns this one is headed straight to the top 10.

The Commies played a fairly big part in that, too.

I missed the “Untied” States. Looks too much like United (two letters transposed).

My father’s birthday was VE Day, and on his brother’s birthday the US entered WWII after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The Knotsis were speechless at their de-feet. Their tongues were tied.
