"smite button"?
Does it follow the one caliber rule? ;D   
Does one swab between smites? ???
If you smite and miss, can you find your smite and use it again? ;)

Smite vs. Smite . I dont believe a Smite can be a miss . If it misses ,well it was no Smite after all .
 
For a Smite to be committed someone has to have been Smitten .
Sometimes you are the Smiter and sometimes ...... :o
 
However "IF" a Smite are able to be lost in a Smite attempt , I suppose it could be recovered .
pay attrntion ,there may be a test later .

I was wondering if I would have to move this topic to the religious discussion forum. But after watching it I was smitten and determined the topic is smite on.... ;D

Have fun smiting your own pun!

     As I ascended the stairs between First Floor Factory and Second Floor Factory at Martin Marietta Astronautics Group in 1988, I noticed a hand-made sign on the wall.  This was the week that the corporation banned all smoking within work space areas.  The well made sign pictured two Knights, facing each other, in full armor, putting down their swords and crushing out their smokes in two handy, sand filled recepticles.  At the bottom of this clever sign were these words in Bold black letters:                   

                                          NO SMOTING


Tracy
Smokin' my pipe on the mountings, sniffin' the mornin'-cool,
I walks in my old brown gaiters along o' my old brown mule,
With seventy gunners be'ind me, an' never a beggar forgets
It's only the pick of the Army that handles the dear little pets - 'Tss! 'Tss!

There is, if I recall correctly, a Far Side cartoon with God sitting at his computer with finger posed above the 'smote' key.
