: : At a military museum here in Victoria BC is a machine gun with a box of bullets strung along nine yards of material. It professes to be the origin of the phrase "give em' the Whole nine yards".
: For hours of reading enjoyment, please enter "yards" into the archive-search box on the Discussion Forum page. Nine yards of previous posts should come up.
The sign on the display, no doubt, dates from 1993.
