BS: This machine kills fascists

I had always thought the inscription on Guthrie's guitar (picture) that I have quoted in the thread title was not meant verbatim.

But after reading this

A Hungarian tourist who killed a 69-year-old gay man with a banjo after he made homosexual advances was found guilty of manslaughter ... by beating him with a banjo and ramming the handle down his throat (link to article)

I can think of a different interpretation.

Oh, my. I'd heard the banjo was a deadly weapon but I thought that was only an exaggeration. At least it would be difficult to conceal.

Now do you believe me when I say, a banjo is just a bodhran with an erection?

On a banjo should be written: This machine kills blue devils.
