What did Washington say to his men on the boat as they crossed the Delaware on Christmas Day, 1776, to attack the British at Trenton?

Shift your fat #$%^, henry, or you\ ll swamp the %^&*ed boat!-a lot of famous quotes from those days were invented years later, but several contemporary accounts state that washington said this to henry knox, who would later be his secretary of war. it was a cold morning, the soldiers were barely dressed, and their muskets would be useless (even moreso than usual) in the damp weather. they must have been scared out of their minds. when washington said this, they all had a hearty laugh, and their spirits were lifted enough that they were able to win the battle. and so, swearing changed the course of world history....but dont come crying to us if you get in trouble for quoting washington in front of your teacher.
