There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

Javalin style Sentryduty guess it is up to the end user how they use the stabbing stick in the heat of the moment!

The technique isn't the humorous part to me, that's just a manner of efficiency, it's the fact they are practicing again a dummy in the relatively non-combatant posture of eating his dinner, dealing cards, or writing admiration letters to Hitler himself.
It's an oddly specific setup, during our bayonet fighting training it was mainly running/standing charges and ground point to finish a felled foe.
This strikes me as the Pythonian "When a man attacks you with a banana..." scenarios.
