Give 'em a whiff of grape...

The USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned naval vessel in the world, still has rather a lot of guns. Two of them remain in use for firing salutes at 0800 and sunset.

Apparently, some of the neighbors - who, as I've seen pointed out, have been there not nearly as long as the ship - are now whining about the noise.

I think the solution is to stop firing blanks.
