A Ketchup and Sauerkraut Universe
After the success of the previous use of project X, Adolf decided to use it again, this time to choose a new Panzer Leader.
Adolf: Heisenberg, for the purpose of choosing a new Panzer General, I whish to use Project X.
Werner: As you wish sir.
Adolf stepped into the contraption and was mesmerized by the random lights and beeps going off. He awoke in his command center, in the wee hours of the morning, to a mirror image of himself talking to none other that General Heinz Guderian and many other choice generals that would all make excellent commanders. He listened closely to the ensuing conversation..........
The mirror of Hitler was talking to all of them. He said in his usual voice, "I, supreme commander of the great empire of Germany and der Fuhrer of the Third Reich of said empire, has come to a decision as to who will be the new Panzer commander. General Heinz Guderian, please step forward."
Guderian gave out a gasp as the other disgruntled generals left the room. "You mean I really will command our armored forces," he said in a joyous voice.
Hitler, slightly annoyed, responded," Of course. Why else would I have picked your name".
Guderian responded," This is the happiest day of my life. Thank you very much!"
Hitler said," Unfortunately, since I have decided to make the capitalist pig-dogs furious, I will have to change your name."
Guderian said with a surprised tone," what type of change."
Hitler chuckled," One that will make fun of the capitalists at their core. Your name shall be a copyrighted family brand that will make the Americans scream in hate as you break copyright infringement. Your new name is:"
Guderian said, slightly worried,"yes..."
"Your new name is"
"Yes"
"It is"
"Get on with it already."
"Okay, Okay, don't through a fit."
"Your new name is Heinz 57 Ketchup."
Your favorite ketchup brand.
Guderain yelled, obviously angry,"
THAT is my new name!
THAT is!"
"But I'm your Fuhrer. I can name you whatever I want"
Guderian replied, "But you didn't even give me a German sounding* American copyrighted name. ANYTHING but that despicable ketchup that goes on these despicable
FRENCH fries that are also copyrighted by the Americans."
Adolf replied, "Fine, fine, fine, I'll give you a German sounding American copyrighted name."
Guderain, "What do you mean"
Adolf replied, "Your new new name is:"
"Yes..."
"Your new new name is"
"Yes..."
"It is.."
"Get on with it, I don't have all day!"
"Your new new name is Heinz Sauerkraut."
A yummy bowl of Sauerkraut.
Guderain started yelling again, " What!?!?!? That is still horrible!"
"Take it or leave it"
"My family name has been Guderain for over 500 years." In a monotonous voice obviously showing he has recited this a few hundred times,"But to better serve the Reich, I must take on this duty with no regrets and fulfill it to its utmost ant 'till the end."
Guderian stalked away from his Fuhrer,"Err... I hate this job already. Time to call up some other conspirators."
TO BE CONTINUED.
*Yes I Know Heinz is very German sounding but it was founded in America so I will not count it as German.
