Napoleon

[[Two musketeers present a handcuffed Napoleon to a magistrate.]] Soldiers: This is Napoleon. He tried to take over the world. Magistrate: Exile him to Elba! [[Three musketeers present a somewhat dirty, handcuffed and shackled Napoleon to a magistrate.]] Soldiers: It's us again. Napoleon escaped from Elba and tried to conquer the world. Again. Magistrate: Send him someplace truly remote, like Saint Helena. Soldiers: Yes, sir. Several years later... [[Six musketeers present a dripping wet, handcuffed and shackled Napoleon, with an octopus on his head, to a magistrate.]] Soldiers: Well, he swam back. Magistrate stands and gestures to the skies imperiously. Magistrate: We must mount an expedition to the south pole, where we will encase Napoleon in the antarctic ice! A century later... [[THE PRESIDENT stands behind a podium. Behind him stands a very dirty, handcuffed, shackled, splinted napoleon with icicles dripping off his hat.]] President: We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy... {{Title text: "Mr. President, what if the unthinkable happens? What if the launch goes wrong, and Napoleon is not stranded on the Moon?" "Have Safire write up a speech."}}
