Emoticon etiquette is still in development phase.
I'm pretty sure that Bob's World wanted to bust those balls big time.

There is also a saying here in parts of Europe, which I regard as being pretty elegant. When the cards are badly stacked against you, a friendly "With full trousers it is easy to stink" can be bit liberating. In this sense in war one should always make sure that one has an easy time to make things stink for the other side
