888

This is my 888th post.






Apparently, the Dutch word for 888 was used to flush out German spies during the Second World War. It was too hard to pronounce by non-native speakers. I can just imagine how that was worked into a conversation...


Johan:  Say, Hans- what number comes before 889 and after 887?

Hans: (nervous sweat)



Yep, war is hell.
