For some reason one is reminded of the famous quote of Colour Sergeant Muir RM on 1 April 1982, when the 3000-strong Argentinean invasion force called upon the ~50 Royal Marines defending the Falklands to surrender.

Too non-PC to quote directly here, must leave it for people to look up for themselves, eg here:

Sufficient for now to observe that it was emphasised by a lengthy burst of automatic fire. The Bootnecks have always had a special flair for diplomacy.
