Ooh! An olive! Turn that pimento into an armor-piercing projectile.



OOOOO!!! Good thinking!!


LOL.

I read an SciFi story which revolved around the evacuation of a
planet's colony. In the course of which an alien parasite was discovered
after an illegal pizza party (pizza is banned because garlic is impossible
to get out the air scrubbers.) Turns out the aliens are allergic to
garlic.)
So the final confrontation requires some means to get into the command
center, without killing the humans, or destroying everything "No problem
Captain, proper shaped charge ..." and garlic cloves get blasted through
the bulkhead. Works like a charm.
Epilog, of course, now every ship in the fleet smells like an Italian
(Or Spanish) eatery.
