From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) :   [ devils ]

  PROJECTILE, n.  The final arbiter in international disputes.  Formerly
  these disputes were settled by physical contact of the disputants,
  with such simple arguments as the rudimentary logic of the times could
  supply -- the sword, the spear, and so forth.  With the growth of
  prudence in military affairs the projectile came more and more into
  favor, and is now held in high esteem by the most courageous.  Its
  capital defect is that it requires personal attendance at the point of
  propulsion.
