Putsch Ball is the amazing story of how the inmates of Landesberg Prison captured the Push Ball Championship in 1924. Most of the team were involved in Hitler’s failed Beerhall Putsch in 1923. Little did they know they would be playing for their lives in the 1924 Push Ball World Championship.
Life is hard enough, never mix up allure and a lure.

Gambling can ruin a life and I don’t recommend it. But if you can’t help yourself, bet on Turkish soccer, it’s as close as anyone can get to a sure thing.

Dear El Gorto,
My husband is driving me up the wall with all of his political angst and it’s ruining our love life. What should I do?

Dear Politicus,
Let me give it to you straight, I never get into politics simply because I can’t be sure who is listening? Do I want to upset my mechanic? Piss off my bookie? Offend my dentist? No thank you!
You know that punk down the street? Someday he might be a brownshirt or even a Gauleiter. So best to keep the trap shut.
I’ll confess, I always believed an element of truth must be mixed into every lie, but today you can just say whatever. Odds are, they’ll believe you.
I really feel for those press secretaries and so-called pundits. I see them struggling like Benny Hill to keep a straight face while they’re broadcasting.
So just tell your husband to get a hobby, maybe something like a model railroad he can tinker with in the basement. Trust me, the passion will return.
