nothing, just remarking stuff.
EDIT (December 2019): again, I didn't knew how to express myself back then. Less than ideal English doesn't help.

I was just making a general observation based on this piece of trivia. Something that lines up with what you just posted. I am sorry if I wasn't clear earlier.

"Sir, the dead bodies are too gruesome for mere mortal eyes!"
"I command thee to cover it in the name of decency... WITH BREAD".
"Yes sir".
That scenario sounds amazing.

Edit: I mean, why remark it with bread? Why not a tree stump or something that would fit in with the background? That was my joke.
