No, TFG, I got the joke. Wasn't exactly an Oscar Wilde witticism (1/2 the arms --> 1/2 the beating). I chose a different take on having only one arm to set up a different joke. Since it followed the general idea of having one arm, I quoted the first joke.

Would it have worked better if I started with "what if she used the amputated arm to beat us with?" Probably, but I didn't think I needed that level of joke refinement to get the point across.

JC, I wasn't specifically trying to make an "in-reference," but I'm glad you remember.
You killed another one.

I think it's Adolph Eichmann's Punch-Out.
