“Do you want to have enema before you eat, or do you want to eat first?” – This is a popular proverb sewn onto and/or appliquéd to Asafo flags with the intention of mocking other companies and portraying them as cowards and shirkers. Food and enemas are considered absurd excuses to avoid going to war. The motif may have a further purpose; to shame the enemy company for failure in a previous battle. Author: Doris Kubisch
