Since this is turning into a bit of a politically incorrect thread
A British Ambassador goes to visit Idi Amin and his government.

"Now then, Mr Amin," says the ambassador, "we've heard about what you've been doing - bullying your neighbours, terrorising your own people - and we won't stand for it. I am here to issue an ultimatum: either you stop this reign of terror or we will cease trading with you."

Idi Amin ponders this for little more than a second.
"If you cease trading," he replies, defiantly, "we will take your queen's face off our banknotes."

The ambassador is calm and unruffled.
"If you do that," he replies, "we'll take your face off the marmalade jars."
