GUNBOATS Gunboats were originally designed to be worn on the ocean. But some folks wear them on their feet. The gunboat is a bad thing to get mixed up with, either on the end of a mad Swede's leg or at the point of issue in a naval engagement. The gunboat inspires a great deal of respect, as a rule, by virtue of the kick it packs. Make all the fun you want to of the man who wears 'em; but don't get within range when you do it.
