I don’t remember the source, but during the Faulklands war, the Argentine forces had something like the following going around their ranks:

“How do you know the Ghurkhas are here? When you wake up in the morning, your head falls off”

I guess that was one of the many reasons their officers had to shoot troops in the feet to keep them from deserting....
