There is no evidence that Napoleon said it, but it is attributed to him.When I was very young if I asked my dad if I could go to bed later he would say 'not tonight Josephine' I hadn't got a clue why he said it but assume now it was a reference to Napoleon and Josephine and their adulterous relationship. Can anybody shed a light on the saying?
