I was thinking about Napoleon, but yeah that works better. Wasn't much electing, B just walked back and was like yo, I am le back < - surely those were the words he used to convince everyone to not kill him.

"Soldiers, if there is one among you who wants to kill his general, his Emperor, here I am!" - the actual (translated) words he used

Mad charisma to walk up and say that line to an army that's been ordered to kill you and have it actually work.

Some mag say a man with the height of his balls was natural.

As a 5'11 man, I never experienced the BS a 5'4 man has, but you'll be damned if he doesn't get an extra beer if I have the money. It saying he deserves it, but I'd probably ask his opinion, and that would deserve compensation
