.....but I couldn't resist:
The Andrians were the first of the islanders to refuse Themistocles' demand for money; he had put it to them that they would be unable to avoid paying because the Athenians had the support of two powerful deities, one called If-you-please and the other Oh-but-you-must. And the Andrians had replied that Athens was lucky to have two such useful gods, who were obviously responsible for her wealth and greatness; unfortunately, however, they themselves, in their small and inadequate island, also had two deities in permanent possession of their soil - and by no means such useful ones. For their names were Haven't-a-penny and Sorry-I-can't. Consequently, no money would be forthcoming; for, however strong Athens was, she could never turn Andros' "can't" into "can."
