A horrid pun.

We had a ranter in alt.conspiracy. Nothing special but I replied to correct a few facts, and to point out that he had misspelled coup as coupe. I pointed out that the latter is in fact a type of car.

One person asked if a dictator drove one it would make it a coupe d'etat.

No, said I, but if Mussolini had driven one, it would have been:

his Il Duce Coupe.

I shall run now.

You can run, but you can't hide. Not at the same time, at least. After you're done running you can hide.
