"Does that make it a Holy Hand Grenade?" Only if it was found in Antioch |

"…with a tow-row, row row row row, crusading grenadiers!" But the number of the counting is still three. |

I have seen the Holy Hand Grenade in a movie, so they were certainly available. |

"However, some experts believe that so-called ancient grenades were actually used to contain perfume." I'm not sure about the military implications of this. Perhaps one is meant to drench the enemy in cologne and then taunt him mercilessly… |

JT, "Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting thou then proceed to three. FIVE is right out". I think that's how it goes. It is the only film I ever went to see twice in two days, when it came out during my university days. And the second time we laughed in a completely different set of places to those we found funny on the first! Mollinary |
