Reminds me of a story I heard, or read, many years ago. Back in the days when Warlords and Ninjas were the norm in Japan, a battle between two warring factions took place. Apparently one Warlord attacked the others fortress/camp/village in an attempt to kill the leader and claim his stuff for his own. A big battle (I'm thinking they were fighting to the tune of "Everyone is Kung Fu Fighting..

) ensued and the attackers were beaten back. The next morning the Warlord (or Emperor) of the victorious side goes to his "other throne" and becomes a shish-kabob. A small framed Ninja from the attacking force had snuck into the leaders' private bathroom and hidden out under the "throne" waiting for the opportune time to thrust a spear upward into his target. Several times.
I bet that hurt like a....
I'm no leader or anyone special, but after reading that, I always check the holes out before sitting and doing my bizness! You just never know where those sneaky Ninja's will show up
