The [non-sequitur Python quote](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=560831) thread was fun to read, but you have to admit, that it’s not too hard to find a non-sequitur when it’s Monty Python you’re talking about - but how about finding a quote (from a different sketch naturally) that responds to the one in the post before? Can it be done? I’ll start with: “It’s not much of a cheese shop, is it?” ---

And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being **naughty** in my sight, shall snuff it. ---
