Clear Your Mind of Whimsy*

Last week, 15 members of Iraq's taekwondo team were kidnapped between Falluja and Ramadi, west of Baghdad, said a member of the Iraqi Olympic Committee. The kidnappers have demanded $100,000 for their release.
15 martial arts experts, a team that trains together, presumably the best in the land--helpless against armed captors?

You mean real life isn't like a Jackie Chan movie?

Well, let's just see what the Bradys have to say about that:
Women would be safer knowing self-defense to fight off an attacker than using a gun which can easily be turned against them.
That seems pretty authoritative to me.

Next time someone threatens your life, don't reach for that firearm that might be taken away and used against you. Simply adopt the crane stance and give 'em a hearty "Hai-ya!"

Tell me that won't scare 'em off!

Sounds like you jacked the "whimsy" line from the beginning of Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon."

Also known as "A Fist Full of Yen."

Sorry Lee, but that's not where I got it from.

Hints:

Rodents.

D and N.

And they're not happy.
