Corporate CEOs have "plenty of clarity" on U.S. tariff policy, despite all the on-off-on changes of recent weeks, President Trump said Sunday.
Carly Simon - It Was So Easy (1972)

...
I remember a time, rompin' through the woods
Sun against our skin instead of clothes
When we felt hungry we would eat, when we felt glad we'd dance
And whenever we felt drowsy we would doze
It was so easy then, never takin' any stands
It was so easy then, holdin' hands
I remember a time when our fears could be named
And courage meant not refusing dares
I remember when we took such cares to step never on the cracks
Not only in the squares
Or else we'd be abducted by the bears
It was so easy then, never makin' any plans
It was so easy then, holdin' hands
(interlude)
It was so easy then, never makin' any plans
It was so easy then, holdin' hands
And now we are grown, with debts and regrets
And broken hearts and sentimental schemes
Now every tender failure seems to overthrow old dreams
Love can drive a normal woman to extremes
It was so easy once, holdin' hands without a plan
It was so easy once, holdin' hands
Just holdin' hands

@#7 ... Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch ...
OK, that led me to ...
Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch
montypython.fandom.com
... The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch was a weapon in Brother Maynard's keeping. According to the Book of Armaments, chapter two, verses nine through twenty-one, it was consecrated by Saint Attila.
The scriptural account read by Brother Maynard's Brother (played by Michael Palin) in the Book of Armaments:
"And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas...
(At this point, Brother Maynard's Brother is interrupted by Maynard himself, who tells him "Skip a bit, Brother." Maynard's Brother continues.)
"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.'"
King Arthur had the Holy Hand Grenade brought out during the battle against the Rabbit of Caerbannog.

Whoa.
