One fine day in the middle of the night, two dead men got up to fight! Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other.

I recognize this from somewhere. Is it a German proverb?

I don't know if it has another origin but Cadwell recites this right before you first meet him in Coldharbour. (Elder Scrolls Online) Except I believe they drew their bows and stabbed themselves.

Its much older then that. I heard it in 1999

Huh, I had no idea, now I'm curious where it's originally from.

I learned this as a kid in the '70s.

A deaf policeman heard the noise, and came and shot those two dead boys. If you don't think my story's true, ask the blind man. He saw it too..
