I always forget this classic bit from Monty Python's The Holy Grail...here it is in all of its glory!


Armaments 2:9-21

...And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this
Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy."
And the Lord did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and
anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu......
And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou
count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the
number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou
two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number
three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade
of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." Amen.
