A London pub was evacuated after water company engineers found an object they took for a grenade. A bomb disposal team was called in. After nearly an hour of examination, they counted to three. No more. No less. Three was the number they counted, and the number they counted was three. Four they did not count, nor two, except to proceed to three. Five was right out. Once the number three had been reached, being the third number, they declared that the grenade was actually a copy of the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. [via]
