They told me: get rid of them with your 0.22 I did. They didn't move. So they said: Make them move with the 7.25 I did. They didn't move. They came back: Wipe them out with the ought five I wiped. They didn't move. So the order came down again: Smash them with the 81 .mm I smashed. They didn't move. And they said. Chew them up with the D-9. I chewed. They didn't move. And then they ordered: Bring that beating thing with the two chambers. I brought it. Yes, I did.
