Subject: RE: Churches now exempt from PELs
There have been many parodies on this line.
In a film (Godard?) an American producer says the sentence: "When I hear the word culture, I take out my cheque-book". To which someone replies: "The Nazis said, my revolver".
Or Muggeridge: "When I hear the word gun I reach for my culture"
'Browning' seems to be correct, but there is no double entendre in the German as cited by McGrath.
