Vive le Resistance! (Belated Pomme de Terre Edition)

In what may be the opening of a second front in the fashion wars on the Continent, a hand grenade was found in a shipment of French potatoes in Italy. The news has raised alarm (but not, alas, hemlines) throughout the fashion world, and runways are now being outfitted with Frank Gehry-designed metal detectors.

Please join me in running this thin-to-begin-with joke into the ground. Merci. Grazie. Also, anyone who is not JJV is welcome to correct the post title - I saw references to both le and la Resistance.

Update: In comments, JJV and LLM effortlessly demonstrate that I should have farmed this one out.

Now, now Dave, you know what they say: "the dumber the farmer, the bigger the hand grenade."

So THAT's what they meant when they kept asking me to "pull their pin"...
