                    Years ago, William Edward Perry, a famous English explorer, mapped out most of the Souther Polar Cap.  Many of his maps are still being used today by those who travel to that desolate, sub-zero continent.  On one particular expedition, he and his crew having completed mapping an uncharted region,

"Jesus.

A small word.
Say this little name in public, however, in a way other than an obscenity, and stand back and watch the fireworks. 
This little name is like a tiny detonator that triggers a nuclear warhead.

One was
