Urinal cakes can also be used to keep a hockey bag smelling tolerable….but get a brand new cake and leave it in the wrapper. Don’t find a used one….not even slightly used!
Reminds me of the joke sign above the urinals when I was young and people smoked any place they wanted. “Please don’t throw cigarette butts in the urinals – it makes them soggy and hard to light.”
This has nothing to do with the cartoon, but yesterday I was playing with my friends and my neighbor said not to wear a mask outside. I know that the CDC said you don’t have to, but that’s if your vaccinated. I’m a kid, so I could possibly be vaccinated as of now and his argument didn’t make any sense.
For what it’s worth, “friendly fire” as a legal term is defined by Blackstone (1775 or so) denotes a fire burning where it is supposed to be, e.g. in a hearth. Such fires can cause injury and damage, but the point is that the legal consequences are different from arson or negligence. I can only speculate that the term came to the consciousness of some military type, who (imaginatively) repurposed it. The earliest attestation is from 1918 and is note QUITE in the same sense as the current one, which is first attested in 1944
