Currently searching for the appropriately professional language to convey "get stuffed, loser, just conclude missives."

It's the "economists eating shit" joke, isn't it?
Two economists are walking in a forest when they Come across a pile of shit. The first economist says to the other "Ill pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit." The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit. They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says "l pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit." The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit. Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, "You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. can't help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing." "That's not true", responded the second economist. "We increased the GDP by $200!"

We tried something very like that with my german shepherd/greyhound cross - we had high hopes of it, but she destroyed it in about 10 minutes. Destruction of toys is probably her main talent - other than cuteness.

Apparently, they are functional, or were, and are relics of the rosettes and ribbons that formerly held the gowns together, but are now simple decoration. Red and white are their High Court (criminal) robes; in the Court of Session (civil) the robes are all red, also with crosses on.
