WORLD — In the most significant escalation yet of America's involvement, President Biden has authorized Ukraine to use the Holy Hand Grenade in battle against the Russians.
With time in his presidency running short, Biden has announced authorization for Ukraine to use long-range American missile, anti-personnel mines, and now the Holy Hand Grenade.
"Just remember to count to three, Jack," said Biden as he called President Zelenskyy to share the news. "Yes, you pull the Holy Pin, and start counting. Not two, not four. Oh, and five is right out, bub. Not a joke. Lob that grenade of Anti, Anti... well, anyway."
Though both sides have attempted to avoid an outright conflict between the U.S. and Russia, Putin has warned that the use of the Holy Hand Grenade may leave him no choice. "He will feel the wrath of Mother Russia," said Putin. "We will not stand idle to be blown to tiny bits by a Holy Hand Grenade. We have witnessed its destructive power, and have our entire nuclear arsenal at the ready to respond in kind."
At publishing time, use of the Holy Hand Grenade had been delayed until Biden could locate the official instructions in the Book of Armaments.
"Three, sir!"
"THREE!"
This must be an allusion to something that I am unaware.... Is the Holy Hand Grenade a reference to a movie or something? Sounds Monty Python-esque.
Never mind. Google is my friend. It is Monty Python
One of the best parts of the Holy Grail movie.
My stepdaughter loved bunnies and thought the scene of him killing the knights was funny.
The first time I saw this movie, my friends and I were in tears laughing when the rabbit attacked.
LOL Thanks!
Putin will fart in Biden’s general direction
What is less talked about, of the 6 ATACMS fired, 5 were intercepted by Russian air defense and it appears even the last was damaged and while it struck “something,” it may not have hit the intended target with the needed accuracy, or detonated effectively, to have the desired effect on its target.
0:6, maybe if you want to make the argument, we have 1:6.
While not as humorous, you almost wish Ukraine hadn't fired those things off and made a joke of us and our “wonder weapons.”
There can be only two reasons for what we're trying to accomplish (that I can think of):
1. Intentionally create a situation where a negotiated peace is less likely.
2. Create more favorable conditions for a negotiated settlement since we know this is coming to an end soon.
I would guess this is number 2, but seeing how it was entirely ineffective, even though it's an escalation to the situation by introducing new capabilities on the Ukrainian side to strike deep into Russia with a weapon system that theoretically has some punch (unlike the Ukrainian small drone attacks), it won't make a difference.
OH NO!!!!!!!
NOT The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!.................
Five is right out.
Where are the Globohomos going to get anything that’s holy?
We’d better consult the Book of Armaments...
I wish I could laugh over this.
The Holy Hand Grenade? THE Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch??? Oh, my! It’s one of the holy relics Brother Maynard carries! Pull the pin; lob that thing by the count of THREE; and your enemies shall surely snuff it!
