The joke's on you cos I still got a boner.

Nope, the joke is on you, because it wasn't a joke.

That's a little boney.

Never trust a man with a pencil moustache and flares.

Oh thanks - that was de rigueur for me in the 1970s :$

Which proves my point ;)

Of course, the fact that no British man would ever be called Napoleon makes the joke too laboured to work.

Agree, but you're dissecting it, and I don't think that would bother the average "kiss me quick" hatted brigade out for a knees up, pint and dish of winkles on the front at Britain-on-Sea. :D

They'd probably never have heard of Napoleon!

They would if they played Nap - I have a vague recollection that to call "Napoleon" was to play your lowest trump first. Haven't played it for years, and to call "Wellington" was to play no trumps.

The artist would be well chuffed he got so much debate out of such a throwaway gag.

Which it should've been.
