Colonist (to African chief): * Will you sell me your kingdom for this blue coat and a bottle of spirits?’ Chief (scornfully) : ‘ How can you dare to make me such an offer ? Forfeit the royal title 1 hold by right of inheritance ; abandon the throne of my ancestors ; stoop under the yoke of foreign invaders? Never! Ah! if you had made it two bottles of spirits !’
