In the days when Old Sweat and I were young, shirt collars were not "fuzed," just made from a double layer of cloth. No amount of starching and ironing could convince a shirt collar to stay straight and neat; enter the "spiffy," a little spring loaded wire gizmo that solved the problem ... usually. The only thing that was certain in life was that yours would break on Thursday evening and the dry canteen would be sold out.

Danjanou said:Well according to this handy source one GOFO apparently discharged both his issue and "personal" weapon albeit at different times and in different circumstances. 8)
