"In 1812, Boney
and the boys trek to Moscow and meet with a chilly reception.
Then in 1813,
after thawing out, Boney feels neglected; so he throws a war and
invites all
the nations. Many R.S.V.P their acceptance, while others send regrets,
saying
they will be out of town on some important business and cannot attend. "
-- Cliff Snotes, Historian
 | "Thousands of French troops perished on the campaign in Russia. Some eminent historians say they perished from thirst because they would only drink wine at room temperature. Others put forth the theory that they starved, because the hastily recruited Alsatian chef knew only one recipe -- for beef Wellington. But, if you ask me, I think it was because they froze their 'nackers' off." |
