This isn't what you'd first think of when I call it a Highball - but it'll still get you a big bang when you let it go!

Push it in, pull it out, shake it all about - and then it should go BANG!

Chap with the tasch and the jaundiced expression in the front row "Are you telling us that an oversize golf ball will save us the next time we're getting shot to hell over Berlin?"

...then you pull out the stopper and go shooting all over No Mans Land like a proper Whizz-Bang!

And that'll defeat the enemy how, Sir?

Well... it won't defeat them exactly, more AMUSE and perhaps distract them...

Distract them from what, Sir?

We're still working on ideas, Simkins, now do shut up, there's a good chap...

in November 1945, representatives from the British, French, American and Soviet occupation forces are presented with evidence that Hitler did indeed have only one big ball.

What, too soon?

Officer with the ball "Having told all about this and how great it is, what's the best way to kick this into the Hun, and where?"
2nd guy from left in front row "They don't like up 'hem Sir, so let's bounce it all the way up the steps into the Reichstag"
