Saw a magazine about weaponry with a headline that included the word “Sturmgewehr.” Couldn’t help but think “This is my sturmgewehr. It gewehrs sturms,” although according to Know Your Meme, that’s basically already been done with a Flammenwerfer parody showing an old photo of a GI saying “This is my machine gun. It guns machines.”
Also, according to Know Your Meme, “Hans, get the flammenwerfer” is a popular neo-nazi response to pretty much anything, which makes the entire meme less funny.
(Also, I’m still unsure how I feel about working in a place that has weaponry catalogues and magazines around; but since I don’t actually disagree with countries being allowed to have military, being squeamish about working for a place that manufactures riflescopes is sort of hypocritical – it’s saying “I’m ok with these things existing, I just don’t want to see them or know where they come from.”)
I’m still wary about describing my job to the people I go out and protest with, though; I fear that someone will glare at me and declare that I Can’t Be trusted.
