Abba, according to what I read most husbands agree after one day. For someone who is otherwise normative it it is such a traumatic experience that there is actually an organization that gives white-collar criminals pre-incarceration counseling. However, there was once someone who stubbornly refused and was imprisoned for over twenty years until he died.
Besalel, the bit about the pigskins is anecdotal and has also been said about the American suppression of the Philippine Moro rebellion over a century ago (and that it worked) as well as the Chechen rebellion and the rebellion in India. Apparently the origin is in a movie called “The Real Glory” starring Gary Cooper.
