[Ads-l] t: Proverb Origin: A bayonet is a weapon with a worker at each end

[James Landau]

Many moons ago I invented a proverb about bayonets which I tried, unsuccessfully, to spread:
"Soldiers will continue to carry bayonets as long as beer comes in cans"
Whereupon the pop-top beer can was invented.
