"The bigger blower-upper"
"It's what your right arm's for" (any application really - no modification necessary)
"Please bomb responsibly" (oh how much fun could you have with that one!)
"Semtex gives you wings"
and my personal favorite:

"Clang, clang, clang," went the trolley,
"Ding, ding, ding," went the bell.
"Zing, zing, zing," went my heart-strings,
For the moment I saw him I fell.
"Chug, chug, chug," went the motor,
"Bump, bump, bump," went the brake,
"Thump, thump, thump," went my heart strings,
"Boom, boom, boom" went his vest.

I wonder how this all started. I have been looking for the first suicide bomber ever, but I can't find a trace of him.
