I shall match [livejournal.com profile] eglantine_br's Archie with another.

Mine is a dangerous one. Quote from WWI flyer's letter home:

The worst part of going over the lines is the Archie. That is simply awful.

Before you have visions of the little toad taking pot shots with a catapult, an Archie was an anti-aircraft gun.

Oi! How can any post about a) WWI and b) Archie be pointless?

I jest. Archie, is never, never pointless. Pointed perhaps, but never pointless ;)

Sometimes he is the whole point. And yes, a pointer not a setter!

The point, the whole point and nothing but the point.

Just saw this again and wondered if you were being cleverly lavatorial. I once saw two loo doors labelled "pointers" and "setters".
