In particular, they would make the prisoners stand in        a line and all move their heads like a clock back and forth and say,        "tick tock tick tock."               Some prisoners, unable to escape or otherwise change their situation,        chose a very subtle rebellion. They would do the head motions, but        instead of "tick tock tick tock", they would wait until the guards        were further down the line and switch to "tick tick tick."               None of the guards noticed this was going on for many months, until        finally, a young lieutenant was caught ticking by a senior SS Captain        walking behind the line.               The captain stopped the exercise, walked over, looking face-to-face        with the young man, and said "A rebel. Vell, don't vorry, ve have        vays of making you tock."               -----------------------------------------------------------------                            --- MBSE BBS v1.0.8 (GNU/Linux-x86_64)        * Origin: Outpost BBS * Johnson City, TN (1:18/200)       SEEN-BY: 1/110 123 15/0 18/200 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 129/330 331 153/7715 218/700 226/30 227/114 229/110 200 206       SEEN-BY: 229/307 317 400 424 426 428 664 700 240/5832 266/512 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848       PATH: 18/200 229/426           |
