I wouldn't want to be the guy hanging onto the back of this thing when the match is lit! "Bringing science to life" ???

Lupine Lady: There was a tiny little label that read: "Light blue touch paper and retire."

Actually, I think it's merely a sign of increased church militancy: St. Peter Mancroft now comes with its own missile defence system.

"Retire?' That certainly is a polite way to say 'get the H....outta there."

dive said...

Hee hee, Cynthia!
"Light the blue touch paper and retire" is what is written on fireworks over here. We are painfully polite when it comes to small domestic explosive devices.

Vanda said...

This should be the illustration in the dictionary next to the word "contrast".

Petrea Burchard said...

An attractive missile silo. Oh, you Brits and your historic architecture.

dive said...

Vanda: I thought they looked rather good together.

Petrea: All those rocket shapes in the stonework and the window tracery kind of give it away.

Phallic symbols they are!

mark said...

Now that is funny.

Ms M said...

Does this have a little guy with a parachute inside?

dive said...

Neetzy: I'm sure I don't know what you mean, young lady.

Mark: It's certainly an interesting juxtaposition.

Ms.M: That would be too funny!

Katherine said...

That's kind of depressing.

Sign of the times . . .

Dive: just read online where the Duchess of whatsits bum should be classified as a WMD. :p

neetzy said...

Okay. I teach at a high school. Think teenage boys. Our team name is the Rockets. They carved a giant phallus into the grass alongside the football field.

KAtherine: Church militancy is indeed getting to a depressing stage when they employ missiles.
Actually, they've been doing that since Old Testament times so nothing much has changed.

Cali: The Duchess of York (whose bum does indeed cross several county borders) is not so much of a WMD as a truly offensive weapon.

Neetzy: We boys never change. Fart gags and knob gags will always rule.
