He said “is it a blue whale Josephine?”

Napoleon also created many various medals and honors and ''royal orders of..'' because he knew that men would kill and die to obtain entrance into the sort of special club of the anointed.
They would not ask for more pay, they would not ask for better medical attention or better living conditions or equipment, they would RATHER have the distinction and honor of the ribbon, or patch or medal.
It saved him money and that was a big deal. It's STILL a big deal with the armies of the world today.

"If you'll excuse me I'll be in this room.... consulting my generals.... for the next thirty minutes.
And by consulting.... I mean boinking...
By my generals.... I mean this woman...
And by 30 I mean 2 seconds" - Napoleon

"The only thing I know about Napoleon and Josephine was he said! ... what was it? ... Rob ... Rob what was it?"

I feel like you could win this game show by answering "I don't know" to all the questions because that often seems to be the answer.
"What did Napoleon say to Josephine? Well lots of things, presumably, but we don't know them."

"Hey Nappy, I notice that you're putting on a few pounds. "Don't worry my little darling, an army marches on its stomach."

I love Fry's purple shirt! Rob's one is very nice as well.

I first encountered the "don't wash" rumour in Wilbur Smith's novel, "A Time To Die". That was published in 1989, so it must've made the rounds fairly quickly.

I thought Napoleon was quoted to have said "they said of the acropolis where the parthenon is"

[notme]

"Put the kettle on" most people have said that at one point to their partner.

Nice of Alan to clarify that Josephine is the one on the right.

"Hey baby, tonight I'm storming _your_ Bastille."

[butcherboy]

Bonjour. Je m'appelle Napoleon. Ou est le biblioteque?

What he really said was "When I am dead, I 'ope dey don' paint me playing wit my superfluous nipple all de time!"
