"Water Table" is a term from ship building (airplanes, too) and is the main reference point from which all other measurements are taken. It seemed logical to some sports writer in the 20's or 30's to give the same term to guns although the Brits never used the term, simply "table".
As for Wonko... it only makes sense that he is a Brit as he is a Friscan, also... most likely Haight Ashbury. Silly savage. His knowledge of water tables is limited to the banjos he tries to play. I wonder if he is a picker of a thumber?
Wanker, why have you been missing the Reno show?
