speaking of that... during WWII, German officers approached American lines a the demand that the American Commander surrender in 2 hours or face annihilation. The response was a letter written as follows:

To the German Commander: Nuts!

- The American Commander

Nuts, of course, meaning “nothing doin” or just “go to hell!”

The Germans thought it was some kind of code until the meaning was later clarified.

I propose a similar response.

Hell that was during the battle. We got em beat already. Claim Victory and dare em to try and pass it. Psychobabble sucks. This is like the Colts inviting the Saints to replay the Super Bowl.
