Fissile for the missile?

“Football? What’s a football”? ~Jean Shepherd (1921-1999)

Just get him some water from Fresno CA.

Could be worse, could be lumps of Ni-62, Fe-56 and Fe-58 in your stocking.

After eight nearby nuclear explosions, Dad is right to deny Lio further fissile fixings for dangerous devices. Sorry, Lio; it’s the non-nuclear football for you (not the president’s one with the A-bomb codes)!

Fission is sooo passe’…

maybe a football with drone capabilities would be suitable for lio

What in the heck is fissile material?! Some how I have the feeling it is not that silvery stuff you throw on the Christmas tree.

I’d have thought the real Liō (after being denied fissile material) would have opted for a hippopotamus for Christmas.

Gee, I’m glad I watched the film Fat Man and Little Boy on Tuesday…

It’s okay, Lio. Santa knows what you’re thinking.

Dad thinks Lio has had enough Uranium-235… Especially after the last bomb.

Sorry Lio.

Lio’s dad needs to buy and move in here:

What? Lio just wanted to go fission with his dad!

Football = Suitcase with nuclear codes always near POTUS.Football = Shape of the Q-Bomb (100 times more powerful than an H-Bomb) in the 1959 film, “The Mouse That Roared”.

That is why you write the letter to Santa in a room by yourself without the parental editor who will cloud the issue with facts!

Don’t worry Lio , Santa knows he always knows
