Appliquéd Battalion Flag Asafo: "If the shin is longer than the thigh, then there is an illness."

"If the shin is longer than the thigh, disease is afoot". This proverb is usually told to obstreperous children by way of admonishing them not to carelessly or even maliciously disregard the decisions of their elders. This could have nasty consequences in the event. In the context of the Asafo, the motif is directed at companies who, according to the flag owners, would do well to keep a low profile and recognise the ascendancy of others. Author: Doris Kubisch
