...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... [At this point, the
friar
is urged by Brother Maynard to "skip a bit, brother"]... 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.
