Why does one of the Munchkin town fathers add “If any” to the Munchkin Mayors mention of descendants?
In case you’re wondering where this comes from, after the Wicked Witch of the East is declared dead, the Munchkin Mayor says, “Then this is a day of independence, for all the Munchkins and their descendants.” To which one of the city fathers adds, “If any.” I have no idea why he said that, however. Perhaps that particular city father was just a natural pessimist. He was also the one who first brought up the idea that the Witch may not really be dead. Or maybe he’s just unmarried and lonely.
