There is a drawing of a GI, with a smile on his, face throwing a hand-grenade. I suppose he is smiling because his "Reiss Scandals" are not twisting and binding during this activity:)

Paddywak, in some old novels, especially British you would often read something like: " During a heated argument between Lionel and Geoffrey, Reginald suddenly ejaculated into the conversation, ' I say, old chaps, I do believe that you're both jolly well over reacting.'" I don't think you'd find that word being used in that fashion today:)
