Vlads Headdress Solution
In response to the Turkish delegation’s refusal to remove their turbans in his presence, Vlad decided they should wear them permanently. He calmly ordered that the turbans be nailed to the heads of his Turkish visitors. What a way to treat your guests.
Lifting your hat to the impaler wouldn’t just be good manners; it could be life-saving. Not doing so might have resulted in you wearing it for the rest of your life, which would be quite short if it had anything to do with old Vlad.
