Is that a bazooka on the table, behind the white ace?

That look more like a M72 LAW rocket launcher than a bazooka to me

Bazooka indeed...

From Wikipedia

"The bazooka is a man-portable anti-armor rocket launcher, made famous during World War II, where it was one of the primary infantry anti-tank weapons used by the United States Armed Forces.

The word "bazooka" is often informally and incorrectly used to refer to any shoulder-launched missile weapon."
 
'Bazooka' was the bubble gum brand they had with their rations(USA). And because it popped just like the sound of the rocket launcher they nicknamed it "Bazooka".
 
Actually it's just general knowledge. I'm a fuckin ace when it come to table quizzes. And I'm full of just random facts just like; Did you know? that the ears of a cricket are on its front legs just below the knee.

Too bad they don't have a general knowledge exam in the leavin . . . yet!
 
I think you'll actually find it's actually called the Bazooka because a chap named Barry (Baz) originally converted a whipped cream maker into a rocket launcher, and on doing so, ran about the place in excited fashion shouting "ooka, ooka!!". ACK-tually
 
That sounds about as plausible as any of the above explanations.... and it paints a much more interesting picture...

Ah yes, I acknowledge my mistake, like when someone calls a vacuum cleaner a hoover or a P.A. a tannoy, extremely annoying to pedants everywhere, your correction was well justified, I concede defeat.
