Small Arms of WWI Primer 070: Japanese Nambu Type A Modified

Happy 50th birthday Othias! It what we all get from our doctor for the half century milestone.

Sorry to hear about this so late. Just so you know, DO NOT ACCEPT THE PARTY LINE THAT YOU HAVE TO DRINK THE HORRIBLE SLIME! They've got laxative pills that work just as well as the giant jug o' salt bath slime that makes you want to puke when you try to slug it down, it's just the party line that they won't give it to you unless you demand it. Don't even tell you it's an option. It's all about abusing the patient & keeping them in their place, but don't stand for it: you'll be spending enough time on the toilet as it is, so don't f!ck around with their stooopid salt water laxative, just tell'em you insist on the capsules and cut out one of the huge parts of what makes that whole procedure *SO* disagreeable!

Sorry to hear about you having to go through the... um... procedure. I've been through it myself, and while the actual event has some small amusements, the prep steps are unpleasant. I hope things went well. Best wishes.

Another great video! I particularly appreciate your emphasis on keeping in mind the actual date of the design compared to what else is available in the world. People too often forget to factor in the era when judging designs, human actions....or whatever. When talking history, historical context is way too often discounted or totally overlooked. Again, a great job!

I hope this isn't for a new "Really behind the scenes" Patreon reward...Seriously though good luck and all that.

Best of luck with the photo shoot old chap, not one of my favourite procedures but better to have discomfort and know what's going on eh?

Lol! Been there and done that. When they inflate you remember to let it all out. The only company on the planet it’s polite to fart in front of. Lol!!

Using a pokey stick no doubt.

Thanks for another excellent video! Its taking all my focus and restraint to avoid making crappy puns...

Uhm, kinda under the category of "too much information", lol. Well, not really lol, but you know what I mean. Sorry for the but remark, lol. Oh crap, you know what I'm trying to say. Good luck, it'll all be fine in the end. Arg, I can't seem to avoid the back-handed comments. No more wise cracks, I I'll put you on my prayer list, you'll do just fine.

The Doc said I have to come back in 5 years. I said, "maybe I'll get run over by a bus before then."

Don't forget to make an awkward joke with the doc right before

What!? Also, hooray a video!
