The amazing thing, is that although this is satire, it's not too far from the truth: During the Battle of Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington and Lord Uxbridge were mounted side-by-side on the ridgeline, watching Napoleon's rightful destruction through field-glasses. Cannonshot from French artillery smashed into the ground between them. Lord Uxbridge started, then exclaimed to Wellington "By God sir, I've lost my leg!", to which the Duke glanced down and replied, "By God sir, so you have!" This is all well-documented by any historians - art imitating life.
