Its a naval expression. When Brittania ruled the waves, we did it with
cannon. These cannon were held in position against the recoil by ropes.
Without the rope restraint, when they fired the recoil would send the
cannon itself crashing around the ship causing chaos and destruction.

Understand now ?

No, the workers all work. They are oppressed proletarians, and it is the
companies job to exploit them as much as possible.

I, however, when I'm not polishing my fleet of Rolls Royces, quite often
play Close Comabt II. Its very good for KILLING GERMANS, Thorsten :)
