In the 1950's I think the B-36 was sometimes referred to as 'the Big Stick'

(OK, OK, not that it's SO important but it's that language 'twist' where something looks like what it's role is. The B-36 looks like a 'stick' and that was it role in Foreign Policy. Maybe I'll go make another Martini and try again later)

Mock softly so they don't think you're a salamander.

Nah, it's "Claim to be a hemophiliac, and when they turn away in disgust, start kicking some back."
