Ok, I mean, it's not news, but still.
BEFORE YOU CLICK THE LINK, if I told you a guy replied to an obnoxious request with the single word "NUTS!" would you get the reference?
You would, right, because you're not a fucking dumbass, right?

I too watched band of brothers.
Also the book.
Also every other story of paratroopers being badass.

Shit, I learned about it from a G.I. Combat comic book when I was in grade school.

Honestly don't recall where I first learned it. In my mind I see my 3rd grade teacher telling the story, but that could be me inventing memories.

I know it's a reference I should know, but I can't nail it down. Something historical, and if pressed to guess I'd say it's from one of the World Wars. But I can't recall which one.
EDIT: Ah, right!
