Which Reminds Me

What is all this chatter about Napoleon? The famous French military hero, long since defeated at Waterloo, has been dead these nearly 200 years now so I don't see why I should trouble myself about Napoleon. I can't see what that has to do with anything. If you are Italian you might well be Napoleon's cousin of some degree but I would have no way of knowing that in the ordinary course of events, so I don't appreciate being called to account for something so far away from being of any concern to me. Unless you imagine that you are going to replicate his success, in which case you could be a danger to yourself as well as to everyone else. But somehow I don't think that is the case.
