"The tradition of the pre-race singing of "Back Home Again in Indiana" goes back to 1946, the first race after the track was closed four years for World War II and the first under the ownership of Tony Hulman. The Hulman era also ushered in the tradition of one of the most famous commands in sports, "Gentlemen, start your engines."

Get the South Bend Gentlemen mug.Term which refers to a conduct of combat, loosely applying to the 17th through 19th century. In which battles were orderly fought in a fashion akin to a turn based strategy game, with opposite sides of musketmen walked around the field of battle to form giant lines of ranks totally exposed. Each army then took turns blasting the crap out of each other.
Sometimes one side would suicidally charge the other with bayonets. On foot or cavalry. Later, cannons were used as fire support.
Generally, this was though of as sportsmanlike by the nobles that waged these wars.
The practice eventually began to wane when people realized that doing this was fucking insane. And basically outright stopped once World War I rolled around.

These people had more balls then any human being in history, when you realize that each and every one of these mother fuckers walked around a battlefield devoid of cover. Then stood in front of a proverbial firing squad.
Not to mention, even if you survived getting shot, you'd probably get a limb amputated, without anesthetics, at best. Slow painful death at worst.
You probably had a better chance at surviving Russian Roulette. A Gentlemans' War was more like a gamble with the Grim Reaper.

For her Crimble Snowstorm, I called up the best Gentlemes Relish I had to offer.
She said "Thank you kind sir for such a selfless act of generosity in supplying my tidy little pussy with so much gentlemens relish." To which I replied "No worries lass!"
