A modest sized trebuchet on a gimbal mount, adjustable finger and 'weight' (Pneumatic Pressure) so that range and bearing is fully adjustable, projectile can vary from 150 to 300 pounds, we start recruiting ISIS fighters, make bogus promises, hit them with ketamine, use them as... no... SOMEBODY is going to complain about this, I am pretty sure... hmm... I'll get back with you on this...

Are you sure you want to do that?
Really sure? You are going to feed a body just chock-full of punnish DNA to a Sphinx in her formative years?
Burroughs could be right.
It could be... viral. And catching. In fact I know it's catching... got it myself from Jay Ward via Peabody, through airborne transmission.
It's bad enough to have Sphinxes who kill with a riddle... and Phix has never approved of that. You're going to risk turning her daughter into the first of a line of Sphinxes who kill with a pun?!?
Forget about "complain", sir. I'm not sure that even close family relationships will save you from "vengeful slaughter". And considering what a punning Sphinx might be like, you might well be grateful for being mercifully drawn and quartered and smoked for jerky.

Hmm... some interesting points there... OK, if we use ISIS types, who will complain? Well, ISIS for certain... the whole Obama administration... Hillary... most of the middle east... the more liberal aspects of Hollyweird... Michael Moore... a goodly number of college professors... the Kardasians... Governor Jerry Brown... my first ex-wife... most of the taxi drivers in NYC... I'm sorry, I thought there was an objection- I guess not.

Well, if that's the only objection, I think we can avoid that...
