Dear etaoin: Goliath was surprised when the stone from David's sling killed him, because
such a thing never entered his head before. (Learned in Sunday School, but not from teacher.)

Back to Two Birds with One Stone. In the Surprise II thread (if I can call it that) the word
"enfilade" reminded me of an old timer boasting about seeing a couple dozen starlings sitting
on a telephone line, so that from the top of a rise, they were in a perfect line away from
him. One 12 gauge shotgun shell brought down over a dozen of them, he claimed.
That beats two birds with one stone by quite a wide margin. Don't anybody weep for the
censored deleted expurgated unprinted starlings. They were hated in those days for driving
so many songbirds away.
