Sham Sham, Captain Frank, and a few other men were swapping war stories. Sham told one about his uncle Sly who lost an arm during the war. "Uncle Sly met a General who was shocked that Sly had losted his arm, and yet had not received a medal for bravery. The general removed one of his own medals and pinned it on Sly's uniform. He then mentioned that had Sly lost both arms, he would have received a commission. Hearing this, Sly withdrew his sword and with ones swift stroke he cut off his other arm. Shortly thereafter, he was appointed Minister of Armaments." Captain Frank looked blankley at Sham and said, "You couldn't possibly expect anyone to believe that yarn, could you?" Why not?

How could Sly draw his sword with no hands.

It's a Sly Sham, who's either a horse, an Arab, or Irish lives in a democracy, where Generals have no control over politicians.

How was he holding the sword and cutting off his other arm at the same time? Can't do it.

He couldn't possibly cut his own arm of with one swift stroke...not if he didn't have another arm. He would have to, like saw, his arm off instead of cutting it off with one swift stroke.
