Just a thought on the Swiss Army

Yesterday I posted the AP article about the Swiss accidentally invading Lichtenstein, which is apparently not all that easy given the size of Lichtenstein. AP used the example that it's approximately the size of the District of Columbia.

So, that would make the Swiss Army significantly more accurate in their errors than Al Quaeda and other anti-American terrorists are in their actual planned attacks. When they try to hit a target the size of the District of Columbia, say for example, the District of Columbia, they tend to hit Virginia instead. Interesting point, no?

This got me thinking about Swiss Army knives, too. One has to assume that they are standard issue in the Swiss Army, right? Otherwise they'd be Canadian Army knives or Foreign Legion knives.

I'm no expert on the Swiss Army knife ~ the version I have is the girly one with the tweezers, nail file, scissors, toothpick, etc. But (making a leap here) I have to assume that the really nice ones, that the Swiss Army probably saves for themselves, have all sorts of MacGuyver type paraphernalia. Maybe not the tube socks, but one never knows. Anyway, I'm assuming minimum, the Swiss Army issued Swiss Army knife would have in the very least a compass. (Possibly even GIS or a fold out map...)

Now how did they accidentally invade Lichtenstein again???
