There was this little island country west of France called England that had two patron saints, Saint Trilian and Saint Juan. Much further west they woulda called him San Juan, but that's a different story.

All was good in this little country until it was blockaded by one of the countries on the mainland, who claimed that England had stolen its patron Saint Juan some centuries before. They said send him back or we will blockade you until you starve. England didn't want to send him back, so they consulted their leader, saying they thought Saint Trilian might be able to defend them but they weren't certain and they didn't want to send Saint Juan back to Spain.


The leader reassured them, "A Trilian for defense, but not Juan sent for tribute."
