Once, again, Mr. Punch, with my help, is offering up a true Victorian riddle. The first person to answer correctly--by posting in the comments--will receive public congratulations.
So, here's this week's riddle. We ask that you don't Google the answer. Mr. Punch would not find that sporting at all. Give it a shot and see what you can come up with. Here we go... No cheating...
Why
is the army not going to have bayonets any longer?

And, the answer is...
They're already long enough.
Many thanks to all who answered! I always love to see the many thought processes of our little community at work. And, of course, special mention to Shawn who was not only our first poster, but also gave us the official answer.
Come back next Friday for another of Mr. Punch's Puzzles.

Well, I would say, because those that they have are long enough already! :)
Clever answer.
Because kebob skewers are cheaper.
Because Bay Rum smells better.
So says Floyd from beyond the grave.
Because they figured they'd take a stab at it.
Ah, gruesome.
Because they're a pain in the neck.
And other places.
Because they come from Bayonne.
Ah, a North Eastern joke.
Aquanet holds better.
I'll take your word for it.
Because they're switching to Welcome Soap.
Hooray! I love a continued storyline.
I like Angelo's answer. But I also think "having" a bayonet could be Painful.
Because they want to bury the hatchet. I know--lame, right. My real answer is kind of inappropriate for a PG site. Sometimes I can be bawdy, but I try to fight my mischievous side. I never win.
You can always email it to me.
