That's easy.

No, no, not what you're thinking. It's difficult to hit them with  
rocks since they're so small.

No, the idea is that you use these marvelous devices to fling them as  
far as you can. Of course if you do too good of a job, you get mashed  
turnips in armor rather than just armored turnips.  But then again,  
think of the feasts you've been at. Not all the turnips you've had  
have been armored, correct?

This is why sometimes you get smashed turnips.

But just remember how much better it is to do this with armored  
turnips than with armored fighters! Squished turnips are so much  
better than squished fighters!
