A somewhat more serious guess this time Groggie.

Whilst in Egypt, napoleon took as his mistress Pauline Foures - who was nicknamed Clioupatre by the rest of the Army.

My guess, therefore, is that Napoleon was nicknamed "Le Pharoe"??? Am I on the right track?

Maybe with all the bribery going on in Egypt, he was known as "Baksheesh Bonaparte." :tongue: There are hordes of black flies everywhere. Surely, Napoleon was called the "Sultan of Swat."^&grin
