Perhaps the best known actual usage (in translation) was in Nazi Germany. In a speech on January 17, 1936, Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels stated: "We can do without butter, but, despite all our love of peace, not without arms. One cannot shoot with butter, but with guns." Sometime in the summer of the same year, Hermann Goering announced in a speech, "Guns will make us powerful; butter will only make us fat."

Remember when "adam schefter" was always a poll option? Those were good days. I miss those days.

When I hear the word butter that's when I reach for my revolver and shoot the shit out of the dish.

two years pass...

when there is nothing in the house to eat but bread and honey and butter, it is the butter that makes a person feel rich and full and however briefly in love with the world

i do love the world, just not always in love with it
but yeah, butter (salted) is this complete, fully realized experience that seems a little unbelieveable

butter is one of god's gifts to man imo.
