Somebody is smiling on the way to the bank.

[DannyTN]

I would have bid but my heads not that small.

[reg45]

I’d be interested in the earmuffs that Napoleon wore on the way back from Moscow.

[BBell]

It appears that the hats that Napoleon wore are in short supply.

[Flag_This]

'Tis but a scratch.

[BBell]

That had to hurt.

[txnativegop]

That guy had a real bad day . . .

[a fool in paradise]

They’re coming to take me away ha ha he he ho ho

[Michael.SF.]

I understand the flag that Napoleon last used was also for sale:

[faithhopecharity]

yes, it aint worth a sou in my book

[DariusBane]

Dang. Probably won’t buff out. Any information on that?

[laplata]

I think it was worn by a French cavalry officer at Waterloo.

[MUDDOG]

I prefer tricorne hats myself.

"Any information on that?"

I just know the armor belonged to Antoine Favreau, who was a "Carabinier a Cheval" - part of Napoleon's heavy cavalry - and that June 18, 1815 was his last day on earth.

[IronJack]

British-led maybe. But it was the Prussians who saved the day.

[BBell]

First complete Battle of Waterloo skeleton identified as German soldier

[centurion316]

That’s a little high for a used hat, especially with so few Hatters around these days who can clean it, block it and put in a new sweat band. It probably too small anyway.

[centurion316]

Lot’s of scoliosis bodies turning up in car parks these days. The last one we heard about turned out to be a King.

All I know about Waterloo I learned in. A song.
