I almost considered posting the motto that could be in the kitchen of a German
fast foodery, "Arbeit Macht Fries", but thought better of it. Glancing through
"The Grouchophile" I see that Groucho played Toronto in 1915 and anti-German
sentiment was so strong that when he ordered "German Fries" he was told they
were now called "home fries". I did not know that.
