No one went charging in all guns blazing. Just a gentle escalation through verbal abuse, catapults, knives and guns. At least they tried to settle their differences before it got messy.

I think this is yet another example of the old maxim: Quote The English and Americans are two peoples divided by a common language. (A saying commonly attributed to either George Bernard Shaw or Oscar Wilde, although neither of them used those exact words).

Scott Tracy Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 As far as catapult versus slingshot is concerned, it's all a load of ballistas. the English invented the English language, hence, 'English'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scythe = Two-handled tool used standing up instead of stooped over; longer blade and longer handle. Used for cutting same kinds of crops as sickle. Evolved after the sickle.

Scott Tracy Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Used to be lots of pictures of sickles on flags at one time. Anyways.... Just shows how nuclear war is never as far away as we think. Escalation, escalation, annihilation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
