He Returns To Us Now

The long-awaited Napoleon bottle stopper has arrived.

In clear plastic, the Emperor is suspended against a cloudy blue sky - as if he was affixed atop the Vendome column - rather than balanced on a column of cork.

The back of the package is interesting too. The text explains, in English and in French, that Napoleon Bonaparte was a political and military genius . . .  and then goes on to say, with undeniable truthfulness, that "though exiled, he returns to us now as a brilliant bottle stopper."

Then there are instructions:
To use, gently press cork into open bottle. Twist to remove.
