*Lord Nelson once reportedly called a midshipman to his cabin to instruct him in the three essentials to survive in the Royal (English) Navy. "First, you must implicitly obey orders, without attempting to form any opinion of your own respecting their propriety; secondly, you must consider every man as your enemy who speaks ill of your King; and, thirdly, you must hate a Frenchman as you do the devil."
*During the Napoleonic wars, a live monkey was washed ashore on the English coastline from a shipwreck. The local's hanged it from the gallows on the beach, on the grounds that since it had been unable to understand their questions, it must have been a French spy.
*We're planning a trip to France at Easter.
