No no, it's backwards-subtle, you see....The seriousness of the answer concerning French a useless French fortification, compounded by the fact tha tI used ridiculous words such as " Staff officers and French Army all in one"...You do see it, yes no?

I believe it was named for the defense minister who authorized it's construction. Wasn't greeted with enthusiasm by all staff officers in the French Army. ( among them was DeGaule)

LOL... that is almost as funny as the Joke. 105mm, this is a joke thread. The "Question" was, "What does Maginot Line mean in French?" and the "answer" was "Speed Bump Ahead."

Admittedly, not a GOOD joke... but looks like you need to comb your hair a little higher to catch it from flying over!

We have several in the estonian defence forces about the soviet 9mm PM (Makarov) pistol.

It's often called nine shots and an accurate/precise throw. They also say that when you're being shot at with a PM run away in a straight line. If you zig-zag you might end up in front of some of the bullets..
