It was Fischer's Fritz fischte frische Fische.

About the universality of the Schmidt und Fontyn shop, we used to tell
somebody who was in a hurry and excused himself for not being able to
execute some work, or stay because lack of time: "Kauf Dir die Zeit bei
Schmidt und Fontyn, die haben alles". (Go to Schmidt and Fontyn and buy yourself
that time they got everything for sale). Also some were sent there to buy
themselves some brain or intelligence for proper use.

As to the German Buechse synonym to Gewehr, it is a gun, and a Buechsenschmied is a
gunsmith according to Langenscheid. We have to give to the Germans and not to the Jews
the priority of creating, using and naming arms. This is true at least for the past. Now...about
the present I am not quite sure.
