Letter written by Napoleon to his wife in 1802: “Will be home in three days. Don’t wash.” – Napoleon, to Josephine
What it means

A short video shows a darkly lit man reacting beside a fireplace before the scene cuts to a handwritten letter burning in the flames. The joke is that Napoleon’s bizarre request not to wash is so offensive that the letter is immediately destroyed; it works as an absurd reaction to an unexpectedly disgusting message. The clip uses the moody slowed-and-reverb track “Neva 2 Much !” by benz music, whose dreamy, dramatic atmosphere makes the simple burning gag feel comically intense.
