Did you hear about the medieval siege where the attackers ran out of ammunition? So, they loaded a severed peasant’s head onto a trebuchet and fired it. By sheer luck, it hit the Duke’s son and knocked him off the battle field.
Yeah, apparently it was the first ever serf face to heir missile.
Why is a tin of human meat the best type of trebuchet ammunition
It's canniBallistic
My wife beamed at me and said, “I had no idea our son would go that far!” Tearing up, I stammered, “I know!"
"The trebuchet is amazing! Go get our daughter!"
As English my second language, pretty proud of this one.
Just read an amazing account of a 13th-Century siege.

My friend was concerned his children weren't getting very far...
...which is why we built the larger trebuchet.
"Never thought our child would go that far."
"That trebuchet is really something. Let's get the cat!"
My wife beamed at me with pride and said "Wow, I never thought our son would go that far!"
I said, "This trebuchet is amazing! Go get our daughter."
My wife looked at me beaming with pride and said, “Wow! I never thought our son could go so far!”
I said, “I know. This trebuchet is amazing. Go get our daughter.”
Me: I had no idea our daughter would go this far.
My husband: I know, this trebuchet is amazing. Let's get our son!
