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.
11 0 ReplyIt'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.”

Thank you!

Link to videos of jawbones being played in 2 different ways inside the article:

So either Samson literally slew them, or proverbially slew them by rocking out.

The soldiers are supposed to be Philistines, technically.
