Le quatre mars

On this day, every year, I infallibly remember the riddle my mother once asked me, in a moment of particular motherness:

What did Napoleon say to his troops on this day?

While you ponder that one, let me wish a happy birthday to that talented friend of mine, Brett.

“March fourth!”

(Hold your groans, please.)
