Just read on wikipedia:
"
Home 8. Dined and worked. Planning conquest of Iceland for next week. Shall probably be too late! Saw several broods of ducklings.
-Alexander Cadogan, end of diary entry for May 4, 1940.
"
(From the Invasion of Iceland in WWII article)
Planning the invasion of another country between dinner and watching ducklings... can a sentence be any more understated?
Awesome enough to justify some LJ necromancy in any case :D
