Ming Is A Yankee Doodle Dandy

Even though he's Emperor of the Universe, Ming can proudly boast of many American patriots in his lineage. His great-grandfather, Ebenezer Merciless, way back in '75 offered a gun and a horse to any man that would join George Washington at Valley Forge. The offer was actually made in 1975 and became Exhibit A in the doddering old dummy's commitment hearing. But Ming actually did have an ancestor who was a naval commander during the Revolution. It was John Paul Merciless who said' "I have not yet begun to fight" as he abandoned the Bonhomme Richard just before it defeated the British Serapis. Fortunately, history's selective memory has mercifully forgotten the remainder of his quote, "I could do myself a hurt". Ming is so proud.
