Reacting to wife-burning in colonial India, General Sir Charles Napier was impeccably multicultural: You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom. When men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre. Beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.
Very good. Nice one...
Excellent.
