If Monty Python Added This Scene to a Movie...

From a discussion of thr Battle of Lepanto (1571):
"Even after the battle had clearly turned against the Turks, groups of Janissaries still kept fighting with all they had. It is said that at some point the Janissaries ran out of weapons and started throwing oranges and lemons at their Christian adversaries, leading to awkward scenes of laughter among the general misery of battle."
