The "traditional" sling shot - like David is alleged to have used to off
Goliath is a hand held version of the business end of a trebuchet.

The catapult style slingshot is usually made with a "Y" shaped device (a forked
stick, maybe), some elastic material and a pocket or patch to hold the missile.
I used to make them with the fork of a smallish branch from a tree, the tongue
from an old shoe (to hold the missile) and strips cut from an old inner tube
(hard to find these days). More modern versions is neoprene tubing for the
elastic, a formed wire frame, etc. The "original" Wrist Rocket may be seen

Problem is - what we might think a real panic and knee-slapper might not be
universally funny. And all humour, it seems is based on pain ... someone else's
pain.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Bubba's Fajitas
 Categories: Tex-mex, Beef, Citrus, Chilies
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      1 lb Beef skirt steak
      1 cl Garlic; chopped
      1 ts Cumin
      1 tb Chopped fresh cilantro
    1/3 c  Worcestershire sauce
    1/4 c  Soy sauce
      1 ts Liquid Smoke
      1 md Yellow onion; in rings
      1 lg Lime; juiced
           Pepper
           Green & yellow bell peppers

MMMMM----------------------ACCOMPANIMENTS---------------------------
           Guacamole
           Refried beans
           Mexican rice
           Warm flour tortillas
 
  Those self-appointed guardians of Texas cuisine, Bubba
  & Billy Joe, stopped by the other day and saw a
  request for fajitas so Bubba asked me to post his
  version.
  
  Trim fat from steak. Pound lightly to tenderize.
  Place meat in non-metallic container. Top with onion
  rings. Combine remaining ingredients. Pour over meat
  and onions. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (At this
  point he says to go out and just party, party, party
  ~- just forget about these tasty fajitas 'til
  tomorrow.)

  Next day - or whenever you find your way back home,
  remove the meat and onions, reserving the marinade.
  Separate the meat and onions. Place meat on grill,
  basting often with the marinade and turning often
  to prevent charring. You gotta do this on a grill -
  it's not the same in a broiler.

  Meanwhile, saute the onions in butter with some green
  and maybe some yellow peppers sliced into strips. When the
  meat's done, slice it into thin strips, cutting across
  the grain.

  Serve with homemade refried beans, Mexican rice,
  guacamole, picante sauce or salsa, sour cream, grated
  cheddar, your sauteed veggies and of course, warm
  flour tortillas to hold it all together. Bubba uses
  handmade tortillas he gets from a nearby restaurant.
  They're much better than store bought.

  (Hint: I think this recipe is even better with chicken,
  but don't tell Bubba I said that, 'cause he thinks real
  men eat beef, and only sissies eat chicken!)
  
  Thanks again Bill, Bubba and Billy Joe.
 
  Serves 4 regular people or two hungry Texans.
