Hand Grenades

Two Hungarian students at the University of Budapest fell in love with the same girl. One challenged the other to a duel.

Upon the field of honor went the students, each with a hand grenade firmly fixed between the thumb and fingers of the right hand. When the umpire dropped his white handkerchief the duellists threw their bombs-- both failed to explode.

The second round started like the first. This time the bombs went off-- and covered the combatants with snow and mud.

The seconds then declared that honor had been satisfied and the umpire pronounced the duel a draw.
