Bomb disposal teams were called in and a nearby pub evacuated after water company engineers mistook a Monty Python film prop for a hand grenade.
After nearly an hour of examination by bomb experts, they counted to
three. No more. No less.
Three was the number they counted, and the number they counted was
three.
Four they did not count,
nor two, except to proceed to
three.
Five was right out.
Once the number
three had been reached, being the
third number, they declared that the grenade was actually a copy of the "Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch" used in the film Monty Python And The Holy Grail. A police spokeswoman confirmed that the device was a toy and that it had been no danger to the public
