The story about Napoleon & Josephine is apparently true

"Ne te lave pas, j'accours et dans huit jours je suis là. " (Don't wash, I'm rushing back and I'll be there in a week.) according to http://www.lemonde.fr/vous/article/2013/02/14/l-odeur-de-l-autre-est-propice-a-l-eclosion-du-desir_1831025_3238.html, it's from Napoleon's love letters to Josephine (Lettres d'amour à Joséphine, Fayard, p. 155)

Or not. See the comment below.
