Why Walnut?

A sergeant was asking some recruits why walnut was used for the butt of a rifle.

“Because it has more resistance.†Said one man.

“Wrong.â€

“Because it is more elastic.â€

“Wrong.â€

“Perhaps it’s because it looks nicer than any other wood,†volunteered another, timidly.

“Don’t be stupid,†snapped the sergeant. “It’s simply because it was laid down in Regulations.â€
