Shortly after the Revolutionary War, the American war hero Ethan Allen was in London for some business.
His hosts were very patriotic Englishmen, so there was inevitably some tension between them.

His confused hosts pressed him for an explanation, to which he replied, "Nothing makes an Englishman shit quicker than the sight of General Washington."
Mornin.
