Way back in the Middle ages, on the eve of a great battle, the blues managed to capture a senior office of the reds, one Count de Monay.
He was brought in front of the red's Commander, who said "either you tell us all of the blues plans, or we torture you orribly orribly!"
"You'd never do it" quoth the count. "I am of noble blood, and protected from such nefarious peactices by the code of chivalry"
"Good point" said the Red commander. "However, there is nothing to prevent us from chopping of your head if you don't tell us!"
"I will never betray my comrades" declared the Count heroically.
They put his head on the block, and the axe-man took up position, axe upraised.
"Last chance" said the red's commander.
"OK! I'll tell yo...." "WHOOSH" the axe descended before he could finish.
Furious, the red's commander screamed at the axe-man: "You idiot, how many time do I have to tell you ................................................................................................................

Never hatchet you Count's before they chicken"
