Artillery Guys
 

I have googled my ass off and can find nothing.

For a brief period of time I worked on a clusterbomb project. Soon after I was assigned to the ALWT program and that occupied my time for years to come. Recently I was watching some video from the ME. The forward spotters called out, "another pleshette round is coming" during a helicopter assault on enemy positions. A month after seeing this video I was watching a program about Medal of Honor recipients and one of the men was involved in a siege in the Mekong Delta. He was launching pleshette rounds from a Howitzer.

I can find nothing about this munition. I have tried various spellings and the closest I can get is Suzanne. Can you guys give me some guidance?

Dude, you're golden! That one never occured to me. Thanks, so much! I tried pla, bla, plo! Thanks again, guys!

Just another example of the things I know that serve no purpose. Trust me when I say kernels of information like this do not impress the girls.

Hehehehee! Like they want to talk about motorcycles either.

so this thing is like a big ass shotgun on steroids! I would HATE to be on the other end!

I just tell them I have a crotch rocket (if they seem like the ditsy type), if they seem like the more practical type I tell them it is a sport-touring bike. Whatever makes their panties wet?!
