During the French Revolution...

...Robespierre had taken over Paris and wanted to strike out for Versailles, where the Royal Family was staying.

"Sacred blue", he said, "how many of our men are still alive?"

"About ten thousand in all" came the reply "but you need to leave a garrison in the city while you sack Versailles. How many are you leaving behind, and how many are you taking to Palace?"
