When talking about battles from the War of 1812 to school
groups, it is important to explain the use of muskets; when explaining the use
of muskets, it is useful to discuss the parts of the gun and how it works, in
order to show how cumbersome these weapons were in battle; and when discussing the weapon parts, is necessary
to say a taboo word in front of a large group of children. The cock.
It’s the part that holds the flint to make the spark that
ignites the gun power. It looks like the head of the rooster; hence the name. And it always get
students riled up.
The joke gets kind of old for us interpreters just trying to
do our job. So at the Hamilton
Military Museum
All credit goes to Mike.
