Daddy, why do people in all paintings have one hand tucked inside their shirts? Photos were more expensive back then.

When I destroyed my rotator cuff, broke my clavicle in a few places, broke several ribs in both front and back, and somehow broke my scapula with a perfectly round hole about .38 inches in diameter, I had to carry my arm with my thumb looped over a shirt button for a few years. Some of my orthopedists thought Napoleon had also broken a rotator cuff. Others thought he kept a flask in his jacket.
