The New Joke Thread

[GordMay]

Health experts say doctors are administering less than half the normal amount of immunizations for illness like HPV, whooping cough, measles, mumps, and rubella, as parents postpone wellness visits for their children during the coronavirus pandemic.
"The Onion" asks experts; What do you think?

“Oh, right, I forgot that there are other illnesses.” ~ Laurel Holcer • Geriatric Ophthalmologist

“HPV isn’t that dangerous if you make sure your kid gets it while they’re still young.” ~ Jacob Leung • Book Censor

“I’m sorry, but I only have the emotional bandwidth to fear one disease at a time.” ~ Andrew Lincoln • Potato Peeler

So to get a shot now . I can't go to bar or the Dr. Might be safer to go to firing range.

So is it safe to say the first pic was of an original Carl Gustav and the 2nd pic was of a US version?

How did the AT-4 enter into the conversation?

No, not an original Carl Gustav (1948 model). Probably the M2 in use from the '60s to the early '90s



The AT-4 came from a64pilot's post:
"Interesting, the linked article speaks of it as a missile system, and the system it’s replacing, the AT4 is a missile system"

I thought this was the Joke thread, not the machismo thread.

Well Gord everything always ends up a gun thread

[a64pilot]

I have never seen a rifled rocket launcher, although all US helicopter fired aerial rockets have scarfed nozzles to make the rocket spin, the tubes are all smooth.
A rather large problem can occur if a rocket gets stuck in the launch tube as it will very quickly burn through the tube, maybe that’s why they aren’t rifled?

Gord a little drift in the joke thread won’t hurt, and no one is being Macho.
I see something odd, I ask for an explanation is all.

A missile is usually a guided rocket I think, but there are now guided rockets so who knows.

Supposedly before Gulf War I there was a poster of Sadam Hussein at Ft Knox at the headquarters building with the caption of “thanks for saving our branch” cause many were saying tanks had gone the way of Battleships.

Your religion is the most sane.
