    Ok, I’ll be the first: can someone explain this?

    The soldiers are roman so it can’t be a hapsburg chin joke. The jawbone wielder has a prominent jaw himself, which feels like the set up, but if so I’m missing the punchline.

      It’s from the story of Samson in the Bible.

      The quote goes something like this:

      Then Samson said, “With a donkey’s jawbone I have made donkeys of them. With a donkey’s jawbone I have killed a thousand men.”
