Well played, Sir. Well played.

 

At the conclusion of this year's reenactment of the Battle of Germantown all the reenactors lined up, and Jack Asher (who funds the event) spoke to us.

He thanked the Continental (American) Army and the British Army. After a momentary pause, he quickly added his thanks to the small group of Hessians.

Someone behind me in the Continental Line said, "It's polite to thank the hired help."
