    We call them devices, Oliver, not bombs. Sounds so much better.

    But doesn’t Oliver have to demonstrate that it works? Maybe that’s why the strip disappeared.

    “Device” is IMHO a fuzzy and inaccurate term, and reflects the fuzzy and inaccurate thinking which runs rampant in our military and security agencies. A sewing machine is a “device”. “Bomb,” on the other hand, makes it pretty clear what the builder had in mind.

    Well, Orgelspieler, that is exactly the point. The military knows exactly what it is but they don’t want us to think about it too much. So they use the “fuzzy” term as you describe it. Calling it a bomb might make us think we could be killed by the silly thing. The military can’t have us worrying about that now can they?

    Make an alarm clock out of it, Oliver- I’ll guarantee no one will sleep through it!

    If anyone asks, it’s an “atomic clock”…

    Actually the correct term is “gadget”. Read yer Rhodes.

    So late yet I must post …

    Oliver’s choice should go over with a bang.

    Didn’t Steve Martin do this once on “Saturday Night Live,” back when it was funny?
